Innocent Temptations.

Innocent Temptations.

A Poem by Natasha
"

Are we growing up or just going down?

"

 

In this closet we share
This pitch black blanket
Hides only our desperation
 
These hands groping, caressing
As our lips lock between gasps of air
I’m crying, I’m panting, I’m stroking
 
Sounds of intimacy, growing and growing
The threat of an oncoming bomb evident
That blind ‘I love you’ stumbling inside
 
            I stop, you stop and we stare at one another
            You notice my tears, I notice your pain
            Trembling lips whispering out doubts
 
Taking back your hands you sigh
Taking back control you let go
Taking back time you explain
 
            To hear your worries
            To hear your truth
            It is what I want
 
In this closet: we are hiding
In this darkness: we are safe
In this moment: we are at peace

I like the fact that you pulled this poem back from the edge...from the rush of passion to something more meaningful. Nice writing.

I absolutely loved this.

The repetition was very well done, and the imagery was superb. I could really feel the emotion, and tension coming out of it.

Well done!

Clever use of parallelism in that last two non-indented stanzas.

I'm assuming this has at least something to do with your dream?
Well, I must say.
I love this.
The repetition is really effective.
I really love the trios of lines (or triplets?)
lmao
No, but excellent job.
