Infatuation

They hear one another’s name.

Their glands seem to be calling.

Every time, it’s the same.

Down they go, they’re falling.



When together they remember

How presence fills with essence

The inextinguishable orange ember

Fervently ignited by each of the senses.



When the excited eyes see, they glitter.

When the nose smells, it reminisces.

When the fingers touch, memories are bitter.

Delicious kisses the lips misses.



They know trying twice is enough.

They’re aware thrice will do harm.

Still unexplainable, it’s hard, rough.

They’re rendered by magnetic charm.



They flirt with their motions.

They don’t speak; it’s their actions.

It must be the love potion.

Cause for occasional attraction.



They know not to confuse with love.

She knows it’s infatuation.

Probably pleasure, desire, lust

All due to strong temptation.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is about this ex couple in which there's always going to be that little flame, attraction for each other. Even though, it's not love and won't work out.

Infatuations... No one loves them more than I;) A very good poem you have here; I like the rhyme scheme you use... And the wicked temptations of course.
