The Merry-go-round.

Thoughts are things.  

They’re a magnet that brings 

About what we desire. 

 

An innocent crush? 

Or a gesture of plush, 

True romance? 

I did wonder. 

 

Our dance was electric. 

Emotions bred frantic. 

Descent was a blunder. 

 

And now, even still, 

A moment of you, 

Leads to lifetimes of hunger. 

 

A wire is loose in my heart over this. 

My spirit knows when 

A great love has been missed. 

 

I’ll dream of your eyes, 

Of your lips on my lips. 

I’ll pleasure myself thinking of our eclipse. 

 

I’m writing this now, 

As a fool who is scared. 

To trust that the longings I’ve harboured are shared. 

 

I’ve never met someone 

Who carved out my chest. 

A place for his unbridled passion to rest. 

 

I fear that your taste 

Would destroy my existence. 

A drug that’s immune to my futile resistance.  

 

I’m sorry, I fucked up, 

If your aim was pure. 

I've just been so crushed by a similar lure. 

 

I love that you found me. 

I love that you cared. 

And by your request, 

I will leave it all there.

Marvelous Journey Write

.

Incredible imagery. Everone can find their story somewhere in a verse or mature three lines. Whew, left pieces of me on ragged edges of this epic love story and its end. (Excuse me, I need oxygen). ~S~
