Fire

Flames of desire mesmerize Instantly provocative to tantalize Recklessly smoldering embers stirred Enticing arousal... seduction occurs Stoking the fire again and again No strings attached is only plan Both have reasons to turn away Smoke exhausts all reasons one day Forbidden sex arouses all senses Ghost voyeurs char pretenses Once guilt and shame are activated Hardcore explosions... incinerated No strings attached cannot persevere Fire leaves ashes of all we hold dear Written 5-3-2016

Love this sonnet that describes so well the heated passion in forbidden . Closing verses send the message and oft the resulting price one pays.. A fav...

Susan....how creative. I like how your first stanza is an acrostic as well. I love the sonnet form. You've done extremely well in content and form. Great read! The forbidden always has a special allure....but there is usually a price to pay.

Susan, I'm reluctant to view any relationship with "no strings attached". There is always a price to be paid for passion. An insightful poem.
