Sweeter than sin..

 yes

your kiss excites me

your caress sends my

senses spinning

 beneath a midnight moon

I wait for you..

wondering if you can

once again find me

my desire grows impatient

I'm lost when you're not here.

 I know loving you is wrong 

when you belong

to another

but I'm helpless

 to withdraw my love

to say

I don't love you.

I don't want you

I don't need you..

when I know

 in my heart

It's a damn lie

   yeah ..I have tried

hopelessly to release

these feelings of love 

into the midnight winds ..

to chase away

lustful thoughts

of making you mine

yet I find I cannot

for I find your love 

for me is just a little bit 

sweeter than sin

Fran, I'd say "yes" is the right answer here. These are the words rarely spoken. It's a natural trajectory to love, and the brain struggles to reconcile the moral with the natural inclinations. Your last stanza is how we rationalize our behavior, but for the loving part of the brain, it's how it's supposed to be. Another well crafted poem that shows both vulnerability and humility. Surprised I'm the first to review this one.

Sometimes, it's hard to let go. Being in an in-between state of giving up or holding onto is tough.
Wonderfully expressed feelings and written so effortlessly. I think, the way you started out your poem - "yes", tells all and the way you end it giving it a reason why it could be nothing but "yes" . By nature, we are to love and give love - it's hard to take back and not let the emotions run through. Great write!
Thanks for sharing!
