Eve Roper Poet Quatrain

Prisoner's Guilt

Enticement so divine it's secret I hide
Amid linens, other darken spaces 
Welcoming hot passionate embraces 
Only once, then never again; I always lie.

My heart refuses to waive control My pride
I try to keep looking upward, but to hell
I know so well I'll ride and the last farewell
Because of the deep secret I hide inside.

I blame myself not having the self-control
I'm told writing things down can change my life cries
Write detailed of compulsive, uncontrolled lies
I'll begin to adjust; I'm saying goodbye.

My heart yearns to write a poem I've always 
Wanted to write with fulfillment and laughter 
Wishing not to cry, desire of passion after
Compulsive addiction of running away-s.

I love you, a prisoner harming myself 
I will make my tears dry never letting 
Chocolate cacao touch my blush wetting
Lips and trust in my inner faith and self.

Heidi Sands September 6, 2019 at 6:21 PM Amazing poem Eve. I feel a restriction and then release and freedom :)

Chris Green September 6, 2019 at 5:16 PM What felt sad and forlorn ended up feeling like a poem of strength and determination, at least that is how I read it. Really nicely crafted Eve.
