SHE STOOD IN A SHADOWED DOORWAY

by Robert Davidson

She stood in a shadowed doorway
Awaiting the appointed time of delight
Eyes mocking love as
Lips of lust gleam in a moon-blanched night.

She stood in a shadowed doorway
When I shattered the dark with a light
Claiming a fierce kiss on
The porcelain pallor of a face so white.

She stood in a shadowed doorway
The touch of her body against mine stuns
As our sexes meet
Vaster than explosions of burst suns.

Our lone paths cross, then are blown apart forever
As I got what I wanted, and she her cash did recover.
The scowl of pleasure's lips now scorn me ever
Point down to the pit, mocking this sated lover.

She stood in a shadowed doorway
Her look of reproach unnerves, conceives
A cool challenge while
My lust blew away like dead winter leaves.

i found this to be brilliantly written and worded, i love the description of the emotion and the sense of lust and the ending fell right in place, awesome post

Life is a torment and torment an enigma. So burn the shackles of slavery and let love run free

this is the first great piece i have read here.  though i have not been around for a time.  
but, this feeling, your flow, structure, vocab, a very great representation of your feelings.  this is so becuase i felt myself there, your feelings i could relate(though never being with a woman under those circumstances). i could feel the hollow joy you received from her.  just an object, a pseudo presentaion of love and desire.  indeed, if there was a fav button i would proceed in clicking.
thank you....
