Susan Gentry Poet Sonnet

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

Eileen Manassian June 28, 2016 at 5:23 PM 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 Gentry March 20, 2018 at 7:50 AM Thanks so much Eileen for your very nice comments.

James Inman June 13, 2016 at 11:21 AM 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. Susan Gentry March 20, 2018 at 7:49 AM So true. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.
