held without bond

held without bond

 

 

 

i was strip searched,

mid-morning

covers barred

 

my love bared

modest cheeks

reddened in breath

 

kisses hiding against lips of modest approach

fiery temper held within---

reckless tongue

dancing with another

 

early sun, late moon, the voyeurs

peek between shades of crimson longing

naked intentions found against my body

 

weapons confiscated

smiles concealed

conjugal visits allowed

 

they all like to watch

when the right music

is played.

This feels like raw emotions being stripped naked and the pain not ending both day and night - just aching raw emotions being stared at - very powerful Jacob

Mmmmmm.....so very passionate and a bit voyeuristic. Watching lovers on the street stopping for an urgent kiss.....an embrace that just HAS to be. Being a prisoner of love is not so bad, is it? I liked this one a lot. Lydi**

The world loves lovers and nothing like red, reckless passion to celebrate love, no holds barred, but unconditional. An interesting poem on exciting relationships.

Dizzyin' doin's and wild carryings-on--apparently.
Do you have to be a prisoner to get "conjugal visits?"
And won't they watch even without the music?
Your poem strikes me, Jacob, as a very rich and elegant write.

clever reply...thank you for your words, Jimmy.

Tension amid the lover's game, the entire surroundings feel real.

The way you play with words is something i have come to admire, the times your poems have left an impression on me, the count forgotten. But this is a poem where the emotions seem rawer than usual, at least those are my thoughts on it.
