Not to lonely sleep
Suffused by a perverse illusion of love
The passing of wasted time has left
My calamitous heart disgorged and my
Trembling hands are devoid of all things merciful
I sought refuge within the plaintive lines
Of my soldier's love poem and lusted
For the tangible emotion of elusive desires
Never truly felt of by my wanton soul
My stone-eyed harrier, my cruel lover
Came beckoning from behind an elegant,blue script
His heart full of torch songs and star shadow
And his hands, lovely abrasions upon my skin
His passion is such that it hurts
He calls me slut , he calls me tramp
And I will be those fallen angels
For him. Only for him
A soldier's kiss is always rough
Women he left behind to find me waiting
Growing into something more than each alone
I swallow it, falling into the arms of .....?

the gamble of love, & all those things (perhaps terrible things) that come with it.
but you know your soldier, Kas, & where you fall, he falls...

There is a deep aching throughout,
Such an unfulfilled need that weighs heavily.

I'm always excited to read your words. They're never just surface words, there's always a level of depth to them that I'm addicted to. :)

i wasn't sure about this at first but it won me over, great poem. Felt the theme/thought conveyed was very unique despite it being a love poem(..it's so easy for love poems to sound all the same) but this was creative, and i enjoyed it. and i think you're awesome :)
