Sitting Contemplating Feeling words sting But don't mind the pain It goes and comes As quickly as a breath Is inhaled and exhaled. Standing Knowing that presence But not saying a word. They don't come As easily as the breathing Merely consisting of Inhale and exhale. Wanting Aching for kiss Forbidden Inhaling Exhaling Danger lurks Beneath careful covering Swept by the momentous Unearthed secrets Of love. Ignite The dying flame With fuel Made of friendship's honest passion. Exhale old stale passion, Like ridding of rot Left behind by old meat. Inhale the purified contents, Fresh longing Severing ties To reality's fate. Crisp need Keeps Passion firm. NOW Inhale promises a quickening heart Exhale leaves behind contentment. I am happy again if but a moment. Don't gain my affections and cover my eyes. In blindness I will only swing harder. |

Temptress - this is really well done - a unique style that adds urgency - the way you have placed many words on one line alone... I like! I like!  K'Writing sharpens life; life enriches writing' Sylvia Plath |

I can feel the need and the urgency in this one. Well done. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
