Poetry Combination 3



Jan 07, 2008 - 20:48 PM PST

These poems deal more along the lines of lust and lost love

ABSORB

just as feelings have faded
i'll be chasing your beauty
and the intangible you

moments of tourture ticking by
as you slip through my broken hands
like perfumed liquid



so little of you in my grasp
clinging desperatly onto precious fragments
and absorb what I can of you




THE MORNING AFTER

Smoke wafts in the wind over rain slicked roads
as I watch from my perch at the sidewalk cafe

I feel a little foolish in my cape and boots
while you eye me with uncertainty

My throat burning as I light another cigarette
while I try to feel sexy in my push-up bra


You can't see my eyes behind dark glasses
as I compose another poem in my mind

I am awestruck by the city in the morning gloom
that becomes a monstrosity of tangled emotions, people and sounds


AN EPITAPH FOR BEAUTY

She was a statue that had sprung to life
For the mere vision of her was a feast for my eyes.
I would marvel at her pale skin,
& grey eyes that would
see deep into the heart of my sins.

That voice pouring words into the air,
liquid silver spilling over me,
encasing me in safety.
The shape of her hands
unfolding to touch my arm.

For a moment in time,
we were perfect.
The humid nights
heady with her perfume.
Soft thighs tangled
in the sheets.

Though I never told her
how I felt, i'm doing it now
and I hope she hears me.
The crimson glow of memory
will forever haunt me.





ALWAYS AND NEVER

She responds with intensity to his touch
the image of his girlfriend is firmly out of his mind,
and he knows from her expression
that she's left her husband behind.


A song of lust in their blood,
kisses setting them afire
their quaking bodies foretell
that soon will come the sensual flood.

Shivering arms hold him tight,
she writhes under him
and whispers secrets,
her skin enjoying his bite.

Exciting him with the thrust of her hips,
he can see the expression in her eyes
as the longing, confusion and pain that is
hidden there comes spilling out of her sensual lips.


Orgasmic screams ripple across the starless skies
with nobody else but the moon to hear
his hands on her breasts,
their emotions tell no lies.

He and his temptress holding each other in the shadowed room,
this once in a lifetime moment is now,
never to do this again,
but tomorrow would be their doom.

For now, this moment, this night they are together,
the rest of the earth has fallen down,
nobody else knows
belonging to each other, always and never.

Yes. I concur with the others that testified! They all resonate with me for sure.

All of these are all amazing.
But the last three are especially marvelous.
The description is just so dark, intriguing, and visual.
I can see the scenes you describe so clearly in my mind when I read your words.

Those are amazing, I really love them. I enjoy how they aren't "typical" poems. So off beat.. it really makes me want to go read a romance novel! I cant wait to read some more.
