SATISFACTION

Dedicated to Many

Your wings are beating,
your claws are dug in,
but my urge is fleeting -
doubt sits on my skin.

Now I ask you sincere,
“Why are we still here?”
What was a simple
black and white time
now bears a dimple
that ripples my feel
and crumbles my belief
that our together appeal
will truly grant either relief.
Let us pass on by
this physical attraction.
Let us bear in mind
this logical reaction.

Later, years from now,
should I think of you,
I will know satisfaction
recalling nothing happened.

Chemistry gone. Hurts the love between two. How do you rekindle a dying amber? If you can't it hurts both parties. Love the truth in this one CayCay.

I want to hand this one out to every teenage girl. As much as I dislike blanket statements, I think the poem may be more relevant to females. I base this on my Tim's comments. Seems he believes you get it when you can - laugh and shake the head ... CayCay

Hmmm... this rhymes with a wounded heart that craves for satisfaction from staying apart from the trials of time.

Hmmmm, indeed. I have a feeling it may be more of a female read. Is that comment going to get me in trouble? Maybe my comment speaks volumes about me! Thanks for your appreciated feedback, Miraj - I like your visits ... CayCay
