The Beauty of Masturbation

the lavish liberty of lust
unbound in the salacity of self

a lover may take too long
or doesn't take long enough

a lover may manipulate you
keep you hostage in a prison of insecurity
always guessing how you measure up

bathing alone
water running warm
imagination burning hot
ravishing scenarios of carnality bursting
without trepidation
without the discomfort of doubt

just you
your desires
and no one to make you feel like you need to apologize
