Inamorata
I have a yearning to be his mistress
how twisted is this
I do not care if he belongs to another
need his body to make me shudder
I really don't mind
if only a fraction of his time
he spends on my desire
just this thought sets my skin on fire
I find comfort in the thought he has settled down
though I say settle with a frown
as this word that makes me quite sad
and yet at the same time glad
that he feels content, mediocrity with her
I'll always be the wildfire he needs and prefers
I will always remember the way we were ...

that day
I miss the way you would run up behind me
and give me the tightest hug from the back,
as if after that day you would never see me
I miss when I would walk by you sitting on the sofa
you would grab me to sit on your lap and squeeze me so hard,
as if that day you were leaving town
I miss us walking down the street holding hands
stopping abruptly you would push me against the building and place the longest kiss on my lips,
as if that day was the last time our lips would touch
I miss lying in bed next to you
you would place...
and give me the tightest hug from the back,
as if after that day you would never see me
I miss when I would walk by you sitting on the sofa
you would grab me to sit on your lap and squeeze me so hard,

I would.....
my dear celestial being
what I would endure in your name
although it be in vain
for you feel not the same
my naïve young man
you do not see the emotion
this woman's devotion
is not just a notion
my so virile hero
with feet bare I would travel
in deserts fire-like gravel
persevere most heinous battle
to defeat that denial buried in the trench of your soul
and provoke a spark, to arouse my twin blazing flame
what I would endure in your name
although it be in vain
for you feel not the same
my naïve young man
you do not see the emotion
this woman's devotion
is not just a notion
my so virile hero
with feet bare I would travel
in deserts fire-like gravel
persevere most heinous battle
to defeat that denial buried in the trench of your soul
and provoke a spark, to arouse my twin blazing flame

Catatonia
My lips on your skin
breathing warmth into your soul
float my fingers across your glowing body
tracing every fragment in my mind
tongue sketching around your tattoos
pressing my dainty body against your virility
kiss those hard muscular forms
ahhh yes, a girl can dream can't she
breathing warmth into your soul
float my fingers across your glowing body
tracing every fragment in my mind
tongue sketching around your tattoos
pressing my dainty body against your virility
kiss those hard muscular forms
ahhh yes, a girl can dream can't she

Dating Procedures 101 (or lol)
I really enjoyed meeting you. Here, take my number. Can I have your number too? I definitely want to see you again." So he says.
Wait. Will he call or message me? I should really allow him 3 days grace or something right.
Or should I extend contact first? Nope. At least 24 hours hasn't passed. What was I thinking!
idk, lmfao.
The ritual has begun. Omg.
Ok, he contacted. Whew! This is a good sign. Will this continue? Or is this a one-time thing.
Idle chatter. "How's the weather? What do you do for fun? What line of work are you in?" ...

My Heart...
I may not be able to hold you in my arms.
I don't have the luxury of lying next to you in bed.
I might never again feel my lips entangled with yours.
But nobody can ever tell me,
and nothing will ever stop me.
From keeping you eternally in my heart.

Why God?
How dare you God!
Why are you doing this now?
I’m furious with you! How can You deliver my soulmate to me at this point. I waited a lifetime. Asking, praying to You, begging !
And now, You have the audacity to dangle them in front of me like a piece of bread to the famished. Like giving sight to a blind person just to have it again taken away.
To me it was a lifeline when I was drowning.
God? Where were you when I was once youthful, more attractive, loveless and all alone. I was searching, waiting for the love of my life, that special mind, body...

Reflecting
I felt an instant chemistry with you; as I thought you did.
But even when there's chemistry, timing is a bitch.
We do have fun together though. Don't we ?
I have only been with one person in my life.
I have never had anal sex.
Only 2 dicks have been in my mouth (yours was one of them)
I don't fuck. If I wanted that, I can walk into any bar.
I want to make love and hope that it's as special to the other person as it would be to me.
I feel I'm too different from anyone you've ever known or will ever...

Old Soul Love
Could it be possible?
I honestly thought that part of me was dead. I have given all my love away and then some. Nothing left. An internal emptiness. No matter who I met, how they looked at me, how charming or funny. How handsome, or how smoothly they tried to sweep me off my feet. Nothing had sparked that light in my soul for many years.
But could it be possible?
They do say, you sometimes meet special people in the strangest places.
As all the seniors lined up for lunch at the Home, I stared at every single one....

Exposé
Her wounds feel the pain of your dagger. You do not belong to her.
Your poison is in her mouth, yet someone else is in your heart.
Her eyes trickle with hurt and frustration. You do not see her genuineness. You cannot.
After all, she’s a filthy slut on all 4’s.
Her actions and words display a harlot. She sings the song you want to hear.
You, Sir, are unaware that a brilliant woman kneels before you. She knows the actuality of this circumstance. She still invites you to repeatedly cut her soul.
Is it possible your love...

Arcadia
Let me take you away.
To that place that only you and I know exists.
Dark, yet so dazzling.
Dirty, yet so luscious.
Demented and so very enticing.
Forget the barriers, our conscience and obligations, for a miniscule moment.
That moment will embody an eternity of salvation.
Us escaping. Into a euphoric Kingdom.
Some might say, a fortress of Hell.
Greed, self-indulgence. It's all in the eyes of the beholder.
Freedom from the constraints of conformity, I say.
To that place that only you and I know exists.
Dark, yet so dazzling.
Dirty, yet so luscious.
Demented and so very enticing.
