Unconscionable





It’s this kind of
love, I want to know
more
about.
Won’t you share your life
and dreams with me?
If I asked in a very diplomatic way
would that naked question
stand out?

The mere thought of you
fuels an inner passion previously
placed aside.

Harder now
to decry,
With each passing flame
and scorching refrain
I press my way and yet
you,
fill my waking days with thoughts of
tortured sweet relief
for only two.
How can we deny
this delicious appetite
between me and you?

Unconscionable …

How can we deny this delicious appetite between me and you?
Never heard it put that way before!

Aloha Jenee,

Thank you for your comments and for stopping by.

Wouldn't you agree with me that love is indeed a delicious appetite shared by two?

I do...

Hello Glenn,

Thank you for your comments as always.

I wouldn't say forbidden but rather completely enticing to put it mildly!

alaverdy: your poem is very beautiful (as usual). to tell the true i don't like reading poems about love as i always compare them with Pushkin's, but this one is a rare exception though you sometimes lose rhymes in it.

Hello iverhyck,

Thank you for the kind compliment.

Just so you know, I generally write in free style so my poetry doesn't necessarily rhyme.

I am glad you enjoyed it, though..

Wishing for you a great weekend.

i like this poem its simplistic and pretty. one thing- decry... did you mean decree? i think thats a spelling error, otherwise good work!

Hello Gwendolyn,

Thank you for your comments and time. Sometimes the most profound emotions can be expressed by using the simplest of terms.

As for the word decry, that is the correct word, both in context and spelling.

Look and see>de·cry (d-kr)
tr.v. de·cried, de·cry·ing, de·cries
1. To condemn openly.

I will be by soon.

I love the way your pieces often become a melding of poetic flow and your half of a conversation with someone. It is beautifully natural. 'Fill my waking days with thoughts of tortured sweet relief.'

Hello Deckard,

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and for your comments. They are deeply appreciated as always.

'Tortured sweet relief'...

*sigh*

My waking days are filled with these thoughts...

Can you tell?

~ ! lol ! ~

Sending you wishes for a great week ahead...

Dear Alisa

I concur with Mr Fire. No man would be able to resist such a naked request. Once again well done.

Hello wordsmith,

Thank you for your comments and suggestion. I am on my way...

I agree that it is a totally unconscionable that two people with such a strong physical attraction for each other are letting it go to waste. Agree to disagree and be one again. Life is too short...much too short as we all come to realize one day!

Very awesome!

06-Apr-2009

Paradisefor2 said...

Hello Wordplaya,

I agree and would add that the attraction is more than physical alone... it is emotional as well as intellectual, too.

What an awesome combination! Wouldn't you agree?

Just sayin'....that's all!

Ahhh Passion is part of life, can be good can be bad, but at the end is part of being human.

Very lovely and strong poem.

I wonder if you are writing this because you are in love, or whether this is how you imagine true love should be.
