Here Now

As I whisper names in darkness here I leave my scent where you still stare When will you learn that I’m alone? I don’t want your pity, painted moan Touch me as I start to shake I need release, I need to quake With longing and with soft abandon As we rock in secret tandem Love is strangely relative Bemused I laugh as you fall… For only jest can make me stay I live from future far away Consumed I rest in lover’s arms Letting life take me by storm Because I choose to here ignore The chance that we will live for more For whom among you can entreat My wholesome fearless ecstasy? And who among you can survive My art when fully uncontrived?

Satya, Indeed your writing is "uncontrived." You say exactly how you feel, making beautiful use of language. Thanks for sharing, Carolyn
