I ask a million questions that irritate, I know,
It's just we share so little and nothing of you shows.
You touch me through your poetry that we share on the net.
But passions you produce in me are enough to make me fret.

It's not that I'm a stalker, it's just my curious mind
I want to know what makes you tick, what treasures I could find
If we could commence with talking and then move on from there
I know we could communion deepen and find things to share.

But if you keep your distance, as you have done before
And only share your poetry you're closing up a door
that I could use to meet you on a higher plane
Instead I'm filled with regret it's sex and poetry again.

It's just like sex and poetry on a winter's day
I look for charm to keep me warm while spring is far away.
Although I do not know them, a one night stand to fire
all the secrets of my heart, and passions to aspire.

The next day I'm alone and memories so sweet
are all that's left to stay the bitter embered, dying heat
So I read up on the poetry that enflames me once again
And your presence  moves my hand until, I forget the pain.

It's only sex and poetry, it doesn't mean a thing
It's just a hand, a one-night stand, an emotionless fling
It's only sex and poetry over distance deep
A way to get through the day and find a way to sleep.

It's just like sex and poetry and loving plays no part
So I'll take some string and reel in and wrap it round my heart
You turn passion into poetry, remember if you could
When the bird has flown and you're alone at least the poetry's good

Lynne....Intriguing thoughts, very lovely indeed!  

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Click glad you liked this, it was a poem written in anger. You can see it if you read between the lines.

Rex thank-you for your comments.

Kethry, so well said hon!  And then to take it further, they are those who get all confused by writings and don't see the truth, or see something that isn't there.  It can be confusing all right.
Well written hon!!

DkW,
Thanks for your strong words of encouragement.

little girl. Thank you so much.

jmlee12345. So do I, although I haven't had much of the former, guess I'll just have to settle for good poetry.

Be well

Wow Keth, this one rocks! (dont't know where that expression came from   ), but as DKW says, there's not much left to add! So much emotion here, so much frustration too. Brilliant!

Kethry, sex and poetry... I am waiting for JUdy Garland to appear and sing "a few of my favourite things" (sorry for the reference to The sound of music).
Again I find myself relating alot, but sex and poetry is nice I perfer love and poetry... in the long run the sex tastes sweeter.. *wink* and that is all I am going to say. Loved the poem.

Lotharingia, thanks you light up my life with your comments.

Brian, thought you'd gone away. Now Judy Garland singing "my favourite things" would be sex and poetry.

thank you. It's always lovely when you stop by and read. But doesn't it take you away from real life. *winks*
