Captive of Passion

his voice was a deep baritone whispering my name and his eyes were fathomless dark pools I pulled him closer and he stroked my flowing hair but his eyes were cold ice . . . and I trembled is this love or hate, oh I was so confused he wanted to control me and crushed my ruby lips with a kiss demanding that turned beautiful he said vile things while holding me captive in his arms . . . and then whispered my name go away, come back, is this love I was thinking he wrapped around me and we were spinning swirling and lost in passion . . . I opened my eyes and his smile was cruel and he laughed a mean laugh yet, I knew I was nothing without his kiss he might as well have me in chains . . . I knew that I MUST get away because this was wrong the door slammed shut and after a moment I turned the knob . . . and ran into the night and never looked back . . . __________________________ February 1, 2019 Poetry/Free Verse/captive of passion Copyright Protected, ID 19- 1110-242-02 All Rights Reserved.

It's been a long, long time, but I recognize the wise choice well written.

I am a man but I cannot for the life of me understand why some men do things like that, my father was a very cruel man, how can people act that way?

Hi Friends, I am fine, do not worry about me, this is something that happened to me a long, long, long time ago, I was lucky to get away from this man who would have destroyed everything beautiful within me. I left in the night with nothing . . . but my life. There is a whole story of what happened next but that is for another poem.
