Am I new enough, Mourganna.  The only trophies I've received are for critiquing.

The lust for the feelings of a drug so forbidden
Should remain just a lust, as well as unwritten
But the addition to paper may help me forget  
May help me move on, if I havent moved yet
In explaining said lust, one need be discreet
That one here is "I", and she i'll call "Sweet"
I long just to touch her and taste her warm hug
To enhale her just once, take a hit of her drug
My forbidden creature, with your fevers impure
I dont know about islands, so tell me your cure.
Sweet the sound,
                  that is made in your slumber.
Sweet the effect,  
               of your feverish cumber.
Sweet a drug,  
          that once bitten has bit.
Sweet,  
    an addicts addiction to get.
You tempt me my Sweet. No more than one kiss?
You tempt me my Sweet. No more than just this?
My Sweet...I lustfully long for your high.
My Sweet...I must resist, so I try.

Itinerary
=============================
Sometimes, the night's canvas
with all its emptiness
makes me feel redundant
but when i wake up,
with your ribs against mine
and your hands on the summit
of my shoulders
and your cheek
resting softly on my neck
I know that the night sky
with all it's emptiness
is empty
so i could find you

rude awakening


she's trapped in a
pointless marriage
with no one to turn to
and sadly no one to care
he is too but it
hasn't dawned on him yet

what is the meaning of love
and is no one willing to
risk anything anymore
i can not help her for
i, too, am losing
my faith in love

i've loved too many men
who never loved me back
and i've taken comfort
in what little
security there is
in friendship
