YEARNING

 

Like suppressed fire smoldering under her skin
Fervid sirens of longing parched her thirsty body
She needed him like the sun needs to shine
Like the moon needed its lover of darkness to survive
Her need for him was equivalent to air,
air that he’d kidnapped...
each time she heard his voice
Her name wrapped in silky desire
dripping in wines of lust,
falling from his lips.
He drifted ceaselessly through the spaces of hope,
and found shelter in the folds of her mind
Taunting her thoughts with what ifs
Stifling her reality with alluring fantasies
For in the rims of their cognizant love affair,
time and opportunity were their enemies
Their hearts’ eyes were blind,
and their souls wept for each other
Unable to consummate their tender connection,
held hostage by distant reflections
finger tip close...
yet a million miles away,
In this cruel world...
they co-exist

"equivalent to air/ air that he kidnapped"

where do you come up with these lines...Out of the air i guess...like we all seem to...

extravagant poem of longing and desire.

That's Hot! I loved this poem. It had passion and a message. I know from experience that it is not always easy to execute both in a poem. This did both very masterfully. Thank you for sharing this poem.
