I was naught

I was naught
but a season
of fuel for your
fire
naught but tinder to stoke
your passions flame
my kisses a fan
to erotic embers
my pulsing softness a spark
to light your days
my recesses
a warm promise to take
again and again
in your dreams

but my reasoning
felt need to be heard
posing questions of
temporary insanity
voicing the folly of my chosen path
pointing out my imminent
flaming demise
my ego seconded the motion
and put voice to my desires for
more
together they overrode my
heart
words spoken
steps taken
tearful endings
have now rendered
the path to you
null and void
and
I will force belief
that this is best
as my mind does reinforce with
hurt filled remembrances
that my empty arms would so easily
forget
for betray me they would
fling the door wide
at your knocking
and be naught for you
again

Great poem, it used a lot of my favourite metaphors such as love and flames . I liked it very much and have many of the feelings that you are describing .

That one knock can instantly eradicate all the resolve forged through months of tears. For we can't deny hope that someday we'll be something to the one who is our everything. *S* Beautifully done, Corazon!

Let me say just a few words my friend...you far under estimate your talent for poetry. I have to second doreen on this one...PUBLISH!!! Not only this one though, this one and so many of your other works. Your poems don't quietly beg for attention...they stand up and shout "READ ME NOW!!!"   Great poem!!

I will add my voice to those who scream "publish". Your poetry is extremely hard-hitting, real and revealing. It is hard to get enough.

I was hoping it was a typo and you forgot to add the "y". NUTS! Well, maybe next time

jmlee...thank you so much, I write my poems just as is, as they tumble out of my head, I couldn't tell you why or how I choose the line breaks, they just feel right...so for you to say that makes me feel like I am doing something right
