Penis

Such an intriguing concept-
     that every penis has its own story to tell
    and if you lined them up
                 one by one
	     on a silver platter
            and asked them to relay their histories,
   each would contribute a biography
       varied and strange.
My penis has a story of its own
       and if you prod,
                   you will hear a tale of
                unabashed joy
                     and deep rooted pain.
     It will hold nothing back
       in the hopes that someone can learn
                                     from its tragedy.
I am the only one deaf to its blatant message.
So my penis’ story becomes more complex
    with every encounter
	every rejection
	every stroke of flesh
	every scrape of bone
     and moves on
            oblivious to the fact that it cannot find solace
		with another’s flesh;
                I am the only one who can give validation.
