Pixel Woman
By: Palmyrion

Recommended Listening: "Girl With Golden Eyes" by Sixx: A.M.

The woman with golden eyes, golden hair, golden skin
How I wish I could love her, marry her, into my heart let her in
Every night, naught of love, marriage at night, divorce at day
A pixel woman may she be, at night I lay with, wake up I, divorced and lonely by day

Of finest carving and of finest creation on a screen
The glow of a bombard of colors red, blue, and green
Sharing love and lust, pixel and flesh combine one
A forbidden love, where love a sweet illusion has won

If only knew I, this woman can’t wipe my tears
If only knew I, this woman whispers not love to my ears
Everything will be fine, if from her I can find freedom for my life
But I only come back to the sour, bittersweet, salty blade of strife

Everything will be okay, only if from her I can escape
To the place where I am united in love with fellow flesh
Everything will be alright, only if from her I can escape
To where love a bittersweet reality has won

How did you know?

I'm a recovering porn addict who's never seen porn for 2 days (first, for 16 days, then fell into temptation again, spent 2 days since last time I saw a porn picture), just so you know.

Porn addiction is a terrible thing to escape my friend.

Porn addiction is a terrible thing to escape my friend.

*not sure of what you mean when you say porn addiction is a terrible thing to escape, but let's take this to TG's; I don't want my anthology covered in unnecessary commentary*

It's hard to escape, and if you do escape the withdrawal is painful. If you don't escape, then porn will be the third party in a relationship. Your partner will feel betrayed and lacking. Your partner will force themselves onto their knees just to try and compete with the porn stars. Your partner will soon tell themslves that you do not have time for them, that all you want from them is sex, and they would feel sexually insecure around you.

Trust me; I'm a former porn addict, and I am on the process of recovery. I fear that my past as a porn addict will hamper my lovelife, since ladies won't accept a man who is recovering from a porn addiction (or so I tell myself). I myself fear that my parents will disown me when I tell them about my addiction and I ask for help. I fear that my friends will shame me for that. When I opened up about it for the first time, I thought that my classmates will not talk to me anymore, will consider me as their #1 public enemy, will ostracize me, will consider me as a "male slut", after I disclosed that info. I even fear that the mods are going to ban me for this, but anyways, at least I told the story of one of my worst addictions, and I told everyone not to fall into the same addiction as me.

Those who are recovering from a porn addiction will badly need the support of loved ones to help ease the pain of shame that will be encountered during the recovery. Shaming a recovering porn addict will bring them to depression, something they are on the border of, and that is a two-bladed sword; you swing, you wound and you get wounded. But sure, go ostracize me; after all, we live in a free society which romanticizes and encourages shaming.

You will never know the pain of porn addiction until you become a porn addict and your eyes are opened to the destruction it is causing you. That destruction is a dish usually served cold, one served at impolite times.

If people are asking me on how often will I update my anthology, I guess it will be on a weekly basis.

My Best Insanity
By: Palmyrion

She, the woman of beauty untold
Captivating, her eyes, her skin, her lips, her face, more beautiful than the finest masterpieces and jewels of gold
She, unspoiled is her gorgeous grace
For jeweled with beauty, with eyes like diamonds, with ruby-red lips, with pearl-white skin, is her face

Sculpted by divine hands was she into perfection
Irresistible, the porcelain-like skin was, to even the best-reserved of a man’s affection
With divine tools she was carved with gracefulness
So beautiful a statue, not even Aphrodite’s will match her statue’s gorgeousness

Mysterious, in her what that attracts a tide of lovers a multitude
Her smile, her voice, the sun-like radiance of her soul’s attitude
A radiance, shining bright like a beacon in the night, not even the full moon
Can match her soul’s radiance, more colorful than a sunset after the noon

A sweet insanity, longing for her caress, for her purest love I am longing
Head over heels, like a puppy for its master’s caress longing
A sweet insanity, lusting for her love, lusting am I for her caress so sweet
Playing in my mind, a thought of tasting her kiss so sweet

[Palmyrion]

Beauty of A Thousand Sunsets
By: Palmyrion

From Mona Lisa’s smile to the face that launched ships a thousand
From Aphrodite’s irresistible allure to Pia Wurtzbach’s confident beauty
Never have I seen before your simple elegance, its beauty
Radiating brighter than the sun, more lively than sunsets a thousand

A thousand words a picture says, each word a label of elegance
Each word a label of elegance, a thousand spoken on this divine painting of Elizabeth
A thousand spoken on this divine painting of Elizabeth, with the beauty of a thousand sunsets
With the beauty of a thousand sunsets, her soul’s radiance, like the rays of sunset, comes alive

A radiance envied by the sun, a glow envied by the moon, beauty unseen
Quiet and happy, like the gentle ocean breeze silently blowing o’er the loud shore
This beauty of Elizabeth, know only in legends of old, told only in long-lost lore
Radiance, glow, soul, all second to nothing, yet never before by anyone seen

Lucky I call the man to whom she dedicates wholeheartedly her love
To whom she dedicates wholeheartedly her love, take care of her beauty must he
Take care of her beauty should he, treasure his love in return would she
Treasure his love in return would she, for even death will never break mutual love

Apologies! I have never been able to post for the last Friday, but I really made efforts to get this one posting this Friday. RL's been taking a toll on me, but here's my poem anyways.

I'm planning to update this anthology every Friday.

I'm so sorry to hear about your porn addiction and the problem you suffer from that.In other note though your poem is beautiful

Rainy Days and Ten Miles Away
By: Palmyrion

Raindrops, like teardrops
Ten miles, such a long distance
Where art thou, my love

Cities of ten miles
A long distance to your heart
A hard test of love

Like raindrops my tears
Fall on Thursday afternoon
Longing, missing, you

[Anollasia]

I like your poems.
