Poet Tacito Poet Free verse

Like No Other

And she told him that she would love him
like no other woman ever will.

The accented sensuality to complete his sentences,
was her proclamation.

The Egyptian cotton blanketing her natural breasts,
sliding up his arms
as she wakes him for morning consummation;
epicenter consumption.

She told him that she craves him
beyond physical crux.

He was her equilibrium;
A key to Pandora’s shattered box.

Its fragmented sins,
now synchronous with redemption’s awakening.

Even after all these years…

Yet her heart
was wrapped
by hermetically sealed contention.

…

She told him
that she would love him
more than any other.

More than any other…

…like no other…

More than any other…

As she
strokes the pride
of another.

Charmaine Chircop August 8, 2013 at 8:30 PM Ow gee..a declaration of love like no other and then the betrayal..A very stirring and sentimental poem.Some people are so greedy..they want it all and end up loosing it all..This is not love..the only love she seems to have is for herself..Taking and not giving in return or taking and giving to somebody else leads to all that s blank..empty..void..Extremely sad but well penned Poet Tacito August 8, 2013 at 10:02 PM So well said here, Charmaine. So well said...thank you so very much!!!! =D

Twanna Irisha June 7, 2013 at 10:19 PM Amazing write. Poet Tacito June 7, 2013 at 10:38 PM Hi, Twanna! Thank you so much!

Timothy Hicks May 30, 2013 at 1:52 AM Sure is a lot of two-sided-ness going on here! It's sad to see these reoccurring elements in your poetry... I can tell it's very much apart of you. At the very least I can say it's made for some killer writing. I suppose the most emotionally inspired pieces are the ones that really grip people... you're one of a kind, mate! And the comment you made on I'll Think of a Title Later was hilarious, btw! Poet Tacito May 30, 2013 at 7:02 AM Yes, bit of my life experiences. I think I can honestly say that I've heard it all. It's...amusingly sad. Thanks so very much, Tim! :)

David William Breidenthal November 11, 2011 at 1:44 AM Whoohoo! Did I just read that splendid masterpiece... I must be dreaming =). Nicely written lines and surprising parts here and there, but good altogether! Poet Tacito November 12, 2011 at 11:07 PM That's funny. :) Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind feedback.

Elizabeth Wesley October 30, 2011 at 10:23 PM Wow, surprising end to a complicit rhyme. I guess it happens on both sides. Great write Drake. David William Breidenthal November 11, 2011 at 1:44 AM True that, Elizabeth! Poet Tacito November 1, 2011 at 11:24 AM Yes. Yes it does. Thank you, Elizabeth. :)

Poet Tacito May 2, 2011 at 6:08 AM Robert, thank you so very much. Yes, indeed...well said.

Zzzzz Zzzzz May 2, 2011 at 5:39 AM Such are the vagaries of life and love! Interesting write.

Poet Tacito March 19, 2011 at 4:56 AM And that was the plan Cassandra. Thank you so much!!! :)

Poet Tacito March 18, 2011 at 10:28 PM I really hope it can be, Stephen. I know others know of moments like this. You really nailed it on the head sir. Thanks so much for coming by!

Stephen Parker March 18, 2011 at 7:32 PM Sounds like she was complicit but not compliant. Emotions ebb and wane, but true love is a rational intercourse. The heart has to trump the spasmodic mind and the fleeting, physical ingratiating of the body. You discovered this in the real world. Thanks for brokering this experience in an artistic manner. Your pain can be some other person's gain!

Poet Tacito March 18, 2011 at 7:47 AM Wilma, yes, it really does. On both fronts. Thank you so much!!!! Hey Linda, thank you kindly. :)

Wilma Neels March 16, 2011 at 12:35 PM Drake this happens all too often, wanting something so bad, but it still breaks down in the end.. Brilliant piece :)

Poet Tacito March 15, 2011 at 5:40 AM Crista, very well said. I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you so much for coming by here.

Crista Gorman March 15, 2011 at 5:31 AM Sad betrayal that happens all to often. We should not put our trust in humankind who falters to their whims. No, but instead put your trust in the maker of heaven and earth who is faithful to keep his promise and does not delay. Good job on the poem.

Poet Tacito March 9, 2011 at 8:30 AM Hey Linda! No contest this time around. Just a simple post. Yes, the tongue really can be. Thank you darling!
