Meat (Re-written)

Meat

He expects her not to feel, 
believes that she is simply humanoid.
Shock fills his eyes, 
When reality emerges from his dilusion.

She is the sum of childhood vulnerabilities
an amalgamation of experiences.
Has the ability to love unconditionally,
even has a brain.

He is able to separate heart from his groin 
In the pursuit of an erection.
Disengage intellect and feeling,
To receive satisfaction.

She must disabuse him of his misunderstanding,
relieve him of the confusion.
She is more than muscle, bone, and meat,
for his delectation.

Lou this is really good and kind of like I feel right about now with pain of body

this part standing out for me here:

Let me disabuse you of your misunderstanding,
relieve your confusion.
I’m not a piece of meat.

a strong write here, what brought these thoughts
to the page, interesting write ,,,,,,,,zigs

I salute anyone who breaks the rules in the interest of art and great poetry writing just as much as I admire poets who craft meter and verse within the confines of good grammar. Walk the tight rope or jump from it and see if you can fly.

This one was inspired by a boy friend's attitude. Makes me feel like I shouldn't have feelings.

Glad you enjoyed it.

It never ceases to amaze me, that even in the 21st centruy our species is still filled with idiots who think other souls are nothing more than playthings and tools.
This is a good write, powerful and filled with a certain dignity that I really like a lot. I enjoy the way you have encapulated the whole thing in one single breath, and then seem to begin another for the last verse, that's quite unique, To me.
I agree with Jayne; I like what you've done with the last stanza, but using "I am" instead of the contraction would give it way more impact.

I could tell it was a cathartic write! Liked the layout and how you've juxtaposed the different HE/SHE verses for effect. Unlike Mona, I didn't particularly like the choice of the word 'disabuse'
Just seemed too contrived and therein lost some of the strength of the message!
As for the rest... Keep 'em coming!
Cheers
