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

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
