It surely was not planned
I never meant to fall
Completely at your mercy
With no control at all

I never thought I'd feel this way
Not after all my past
Never dreamed I'd let you by
The walls I'd built to last

It's much too late for caution
Too late to think things through
I'm lost in all these feelings
In constant thoughts of you

Just one word is all it takes
You steal my breath away
A look, a glance, at last a touch
I'm robbed of words to say

Possessed by thirst that can't be quenched
Desire that can't be slaked
I could drink of you my love
Forever and a day

Pepper

Pepper....another word is consumed....that
and possessed go well together in this case.
I have felt those feelings...Sometimes the
walls just are not high or strong enough.

Very well written and certainly gets the
message across...Thank you for sharing this.

*smiles*  Love is only real when caution plays no part.  Love isonly real when there are no choices made to fall into it.  

We do not and cannot define love.  Love defines us...and does so differently for each situation.

Well written piece!  *smiles*

Thought's come through well, you might like to adjust the meter in the last stanza because of the extra length of line you have there..just a thought

Pepper darling girl This is utterly utterly wonderful

Oh I've been there, yes possessed, is exactly how it is. No sense no reason, and no judgement. Absolutely fabulous writing.

Well done, truly excellent

Love and warm stuff
