R and R

R&R

Silently I contemplate
Secretly I desire your essence
Cardiff is another land, a far away shore
Absent from my lust, yet craving still
Drowning within my self, I lay myself down

And 

Divesting my thoughts into the winds
Victory is surviving with only lingering pains
Hieroglyphic messages of undying love I leave
Even a Libra can not always balance the scales
Even a heart has only so many beats

I am enjoy your poems, then I investigate with a microscope, looking for the hieroglyphic messages of undying love you leave. You are intriguingly awesome.

If lust be absent, then it surely must be love! Desire can become unbearable...will it be reciprocated?! // paul

Absent from lust,yet craving still- I love this lines,its as if someone is having multitude of emotions across long distance. Even a libra cannot always balance the scale-We can't always control every thought and feelings. I love the way you used a star sign to transmit dee thoughts. An outstanding poem Arthur-Charma
