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.

    Whoohoo! Did I just read that splendid masterpiece... I must be dreaming =). Nicely written lines and surprising parts here and there, but good altogether!

    Wow, surprising end to a complicit rhyme. I guess it happens on both sides. Great write Drake.

    I really hope it can be, Stephen. I know others know of moments like this. You really nailed it on the head sir. Thanks so much for coming by!

    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!

    Drake this happens all too often, wanting something so bad, but it still breaks down in the end.. Brilliant piece :)

    Crista, very well said. I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you so much for coming by here.

    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.

    Hey Linda! No contest this time around. Just a simple post. Yes, the tongue really can be. Thank you darling!

  1. Date: 3/3/2011 3:41:00 PM

    I agree 100% with carolyn, Drake...honestly I believe it is woman who made lust exist in the firstplace...and if women didn't make themselves "available" so easily this awful behavior might be cut short..awesome job here!! -Miranda-

    Hey Carolyn!! Thank you for being here. Yes, it absolutely works both ways. Men have feelings too. I've said it many times before as many seem to forget that. It's a harsh reality that I've witnessed and experienced. Huge kudos for being a contortionist! Awesome. :) Thank you again Carolyn!

  1. Date: 3/3/2011 12:22:00 PM

    That's shameful the way she treated him, Drake. Women think men are the culprits of this type of behavior, but it goes both ways. I was wrapped up in the romance until I got to the last verse. Hit me like running into a wall. Awesome use of the free verse style to convey the story behind your poem. (And I really am a contortionist.) Thanks for stopping by. Love, Carolyn
