Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Naked Desires

Here I am
There you are
Face to face
We can not part
Nor do we speak
Of that first kiss long ago
Of hidden desires
Hopes or dreams and broken hearts
We dance in silence, a musical caress
The scares run deep upon your heart
The blood may flow upon your breast
This chalice I would consume, a thirst of love
I drink the redness of your hidden thoughts
I drink alone, hopeless
Dreaming

James Fraser September 4, 2014 at 4:09 PM Sad, desire, craving, raving. Longing, belonging, thronging. Fine poetry Arthur - James :)

Robin Davis June 7, 2014 at 8:02 AM Authur This is so full of longing and desire in a hauntingly sad way. Very powerful and deeply moving. Thank you for the wonderful comment on my Hate poem. But don't "hate" me for hacking into your thoughts. LOL Arthur Vaso June 7, 2014 at 10:50 AM Thanks! Cheers

David Fisher February 25, 2014 at 8:04 PM Enjoyed your story, Arthur. Like how you lead us on with face to face, and end by the sadness by drinking alone. Hopefully, these incidents are only small slices from the pie of life. Arthur Vaso March 28, 2014 at 10:05 PM Thanks David, haven't been here in a while, sorry for delay in answering.
