Holding gently on satisfied lips

Love is conflicting, confusing, we search for love, fall victim to it's perils, and just when we have reached our end, an equal reaches out and brush against us, giving us hope.

In tearful whispers, I cried out

Why does love treat us like unworthy w****s?

begging in deft for that someone

willingly bending over, spreading legs to their want

knowing they will deny us in the end.

I implore you, feel this tender love so deprived

oh how the wishful heart bleeds

carried forth by a callous tramp with an unsatisfied appetite,

practiced manipulation of the w***e’s gleeful wringing hands.

I implore you, bring me your love in promise

run your spinster fingers down the nape of my neck

burrow your tongue into my waiting mouth

whisper down my throat, your desires

and fill my soul with words my heart aches to hear.

Meet me in a lover’s dreams

together, we shall run away

high above the world in which we exist

watching the w***e of hurt and pain

settle into the darkness of human despair.

and if you will meet me in the morrow’s dream

offering the simple gift of self

should you utter love in a selfless breath

I will keep that very breath, twice

holding it gently on satisfied lips.

this is tense and powerful and love every bit about it...
Love is conflicting, I've experience it too many times and it's always let me down... even when there is that bit of hope...
perfect piece!..

An excellent write! Love is a powerful thing . This poem was full of love.
I implore you, meet me in a lover's dreams
together we shall run away
high above the world in which we exist
watching the w***e of hurt and pain
settle into the darkness of human despair.
Love these lines! Doesn't every lover feel this way sometime or another?

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I thought it had so much conflict in this piece. It was still great and had wonderful imagery to it.

[Poetic Beauty]

Many times in life we feel like this. Love is one of the most wondrous feelings in this life but it isn't easy. If it is truly worth it then it isn't always smooth sailing. I love the sentiment in this poem and it is easy to understand.
