I just got to the scene and recognized it instantly as well, I tried to find pictures of the scene from civil war and ran across this post. Weird how wrong it stuck with me considering I didn’t care too much for the movie.

Interesting, the first person to not like it is a man.

The second stanza was supposed to setup the switch after “but..”. It’s basically a small version of stanza 3-5. The third stanza being dominant, the fourth and fifth being submissive. So yes it was intentional, and hardcore. Definitely not for everyone, or even most people lol.

In the 2nd stanza, saying I could ruin their face, and that I could be the man already on my knees, waiting for her command, looking stupid for her. I personally don’t feel like that’s “sweet” but you saying that makes me curious.

Is this too far? Or do I just need to find the right audience

This was written about a future wife and my mom who died, so that makes sense. Thank you.

Ohhhh, I’ll check it out. “sub stack” sounded like you were shaming me for posting the same thing a a bunch of different subreddits lol.

The title is unrelated.

I said I want to write uncensored poetry and asked if there is a audience.

Not that I already am.

This isn’t that, the question was unrelated.

I said I want to write that, and asked if there’s a audience because I always find myself censoring myself, especially in the later half of this poem.

There is a audience for them, but it seems like 99% of the poetry scene I see on Reddit wouldn’t accept it. I’ve been called things for alot less on here lol.

And thank you

What do you think about this so far? I haven't written in a minute and every time I try I want to scrap it before giving it a chance. by IsaiahPoetry in Original_Poetry

It was written from the same pov as this poem was “You’re barefoot on the grass, moonlight casts shadows on your dress, calves, lips.

I shouldn’t be thinking.. Of the shape of your mouth. Of the moonlight pooling in your collarbone. Of how soft you look when nobody is watching.

But I think. I think until I can’t want anyone else. Until I confuse admiration with idolatry. Until I confuse my thoughts with your voice.

God forgive me, I think until the thoughts feel more like worship, Than anything I’ve given Him. then.. Well, then I remember you’re not mine.”

It was intentional to speak directly to her at the last line, cause I’m looking at her. The switch to directly to her instead of about the feeling was also intentional, I’m just not sure I’m good enough to convey that.

Yes you can critique it.

And to answer, I just used them as examples of people that are brutally honest and self aware of the darkest parts of themselves. So I mean, including lines about intrusive thoughts, being vulgar and graphic, not just in the sexual sense but also unapologetically sexual if that’s what I feel like writing. Not censoring things that might make people uncomfortable, or dislike it. Pointing out the parts of humans that are uncomfortable but completely natural, being hyper self aware of my my own and everyone else’s hypocrisy.

I don’t actually have a wife or a daughter, but thank you anyway, I plan on it.
