Like No Other

And she told him that she would love him
like no other woman ever will.

The accented sensuality to complete his sentences,
was her proclamation.

The Egyptian cotton blanketing her natural breasts,
sliding up his arms
as she wakes him for morning consummation;
epicenter consumption.

She told him that she craves him
beyond physical crux.

He was her equilibrium;
A key to Pandora’s shattered box.

Its fragmented sins,
now synchronous with redemption’s awakening.

Even after all these years…

Yet her heart
was wrapped
by hermetically sealed contention.

…

She told him
that she would love him
more than any other.

More than any other…

…like no other…

More than any other…

As she
strokes the pride
of another.

Ow gee..a declaration of love like no other and then the betrayal..A very stirring and sentimental poem.Some people are so greedy..they want it all and end up loosing it all..This is not love..the only love she seems to have is for herself..Taking and not giving in return or taking and giving to somebody else leads to all that s blank..empty..void..Extremely sad but well penned

Sure is a lot of two-sided-ness going on here! It's sad to see these reoccurring elements in your poetry... I can tell it's very much apart of you. At the very least I can say it's made for some killer writing. I suppose the most emotionally inspired pieces are the ones that really grip people... you're one of a kind, mate! And the comment you made on I'll Think of a Title Later was hilarious, btw!

Sounds like she was complicit but not compliant. Emotions ebb and wane, but true love is a rational intercourse. The heart has to trump the spasmodic mind and the fleeting, physical ingratiating of the body. You discovered this in the real world. Thanks for brokering this experience in an artistic manner. Your pain can be some other person's gain!

Sad betrayal that happens all to often. We should not put our trust in humankind who falters to their whims. No, but instead put your trust in the maker of heaven and earth who is faithful to keep his promise and does not delay. Good job on the poem.
