Klio Tsitsikroni Poet Rhyme

I Plunged Into Her Fire

How was I to tame this raging blaze? 
This thunderous roar, This crippling lunacy, This phase.
Just Like a thief, 
The stolen cloak secretly I wore.
Thirsty, delirious, crushing, 
Wanting so much more! 

Unquenched, maddening desire, 
Longing for her sweet caress, 
I watched her, willingly undress
I plunged into her Fire!

I drank, for months my thirst to sate, 
This lie, this evil, it gripped, 
it clenched, I felt it suffocate,
Abate! abate!  

I stumbled from my faithfulness, 
I fell foul to temptation,
I slipped into her waiting arms
Without any hesitation. 

I dove into the sea of lies
My selfish thirst to quench, 
With violent thrust and blatant disregard 
I plunged 
Head first into blinding lust, 
Shattering into a thousand shards, 
Your Trust. 

A fragmented memory quilt, 
My heart filled with so much guilt. 
Lament, Repent, Regret, 
Your mistress forget….
The voices echoed in my head, 
Relieved, my wife was still in bed.
