Complimentary Pair

It Was A Beautiful Affair
Sponsor: Lewis Raynes


intended for me
your permanent craved desire
hungry urge for us

The other one of a complimentary pair,
opposites attract in this illicit affair.

Promises of existence in each other's universe,
hand cursing your chest as you kiss my neck,
entwined bodies drowning while fully immersed,
two forbidden lovers in the night do connect.

Selfish lust with broken intuitions,
free from obligations and responsibility,
I'll never reveal this pale inquisition,
our debilitated unsafe improbability,
filled with naked lies and possibility.

My lover gives me more pleasurable moments,
he frees me from the chains of sacred vows,
delivers me with a completed lovers atonement,
forgive me, but touching me does he know how.

Broken trust with selfish dishonest lies,
leading away from honor into infatuation,
should I keep my affection or say goodbye?
I just can't resist his passionate palpitation,
I may face my husband's condemnation.

Infidelity beyond all reasons we do share,
opposites attract in this illicit affair.

liaison desires
triangle of lust and thirst
double life is lived

wow, you used a collection of poetry forms here and it melded together very nicely. Don't think I could ever have an affair but I am sure the women feel the way you describe here . There is a Showtime series called the Affair Wow, is it ever good. your poem reminds me of that series. Bye for now, Laura. Taking a quick trip early in the a.m

The title had me thinking it was a poem about something else; ), Quite a difficult, even taboo subject, to write about but I think you have tackled it well. I don't understand why people do it but understand how they do... chasing thrill, conquest, or illicitness all reasons why they should have stayed single.

yes this was difficult for me because I have been happily married for over 13 years and together with him for over 20. Not once have I thought about another man in my life. When I saw this contest I almost did not enter, but I did the best I could. I can't think of one good reason to be with another when I have the best man already. He's my #1 bestest friend and I would not be here without him...thanks Mark..:)-luloo
