FIRST; TO THYSELF BE KNOWN

Folder: 
JOURNAL#18

know your passion

know your pleasure

but learn carefully

your threshold for pain

and to just what degree

that its best fully measured

if done so properly

your very own personal ecstasy

shall greet you happily

at the bedroom door of

life

as good sex often equivocates

good men

and even happier circumstances

good reason stands to make a

healthy profit

in this notion.................
