In the Mood For Love Again

I  am single, a blatant lie !
N o encumbrance, another lie !

T his is a confession, under oath.
H eart of the matter, is what you are.
E nslave you to my heart’s desire.

M  uch treasures you possess, than I desire.
O  ften misconstrued to be offbeat character.
O  ver zealous in every aspect of life.
D  esirious of love in every sense.

F  aith in self, incomplete.
O  bfuscated by love denied.
R  einforced by my love sublime.

L  oved, but only once.
O  ften confused for lust
V  engeance is mine sayeth my heart.
E  ntwined tween passions of my heart and soul.

A  ssigned so my passions don't go astray.
G one are the days that felt sane.
A  lways in my mind your image stays.
 I  mpregnated by the love, of those tender days.
N  ow I am just, begging you to stay…?

Thanks SKAT A, It's not being 'one of the best in the list,' that matters, though, it does feel good. But complements like the one you have made, that give me impetus to more and more. Keep in touch

Dear Casarah, I like to congratulate you on the little bundle of joy that you hold. I am truly humbled, cause, remember these are my doodlings. Moreover I don't consider them poems, rather prefer to call the expressions. As for the talent, as long as you enjoy them, I glad. Keep in touch
