DESIRE and CONTROL
 

An encore of tingles
from hands that caressed.
The pleasure he brought
embraces my mind.

The secret of him
and my wanton lust.
These cravings forsake.
Will I be cloaked in longing…
for he, the stranger no more?

Desire cast aside
and memory abate.
I must give him up…
For true love from one
who is destined.

MY NEEDS IGNORED.

My thoughts…. My wishes….

Laid aside for one who claims 'true love' .

I dream, of another's arms, softly...

Gently enfolding…I desire…

His kisses…His sensuous lips on mine.
 
 

My heart is breaking…

But does my 'true love' care?

Reluctantly.I stand at his side…

My mind...

on my sacrificed lover… He,

who beckons in my dreams.

Is there really a winner here?
