No Pleasure Without Pain
by Walter Raleigh

SWEET were the joys that both might like and last;
Strange were the state exempt from all distress;
Happy the life that no mishap should taste;
Blessed the chance might never change success.
Were such a life to lead or state to prove,
Who would not wish that such a life were love?

that your skin bleeds,
I hear your soul whimpering,
I hear it sobbing

I hear your heart screaming,
the pain is the piercing
of a thousand knives,

For another tatter.
Now, it’s summer!

Search for pleasure
by Know Unknown

One single breath
Whispers of pleasure
Hands gripping tighter
Clawing at something to squeeze

Tickling down my spine
A feeling
Unknown to me
Known to many other
