CayCay Godwin Poet Tanka

Love Affair

attentions shown them
stir yearnings - not more lonely -
arms closely hold them
kisses twinge loneliness opaque
soft trembles soften twin aches

desperate duet
quaking one evasion high  
escape needs fulfilled
~hearts crave pain blocking solace ~
covers mold two stories told

John Gondolf December 19, 2017 at 4:39 AM Affairs can be very passionate but it’s still not love. John CayCay Godwin December 19, 2017 at 8:18 AM Yes, sir and no, sir, you are correct on both accounts. Passion and love together are ideal, but my write is fiction concerning an affair, so all passion until ........... someone gets hurt. I hope you are having a beautiful day in Tejas. All the best ... CayCay
