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.

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

Hi Lou
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.

thank you for reading and your suggestion, I have made a few changes, I think it works a little better now.

hello
you have captured the essence of how it must feel to be considered a mere sex object...................stan
Hi
Stan i'm really glad that you think so.

Lou!
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
