Storm of Love

In the storm of love
     conflicting emotions rage.
             Soft sensual touch.

My body resists.
     No sanctuary in you.
             Spouse of another.

Wisdom doesn't often win over passion Only if truly virtuous. Congratulations on a fine win. Hugs, SuZ

My spouse did it to me Eve. I know how it feels. I would never do it to another.

Thank you Ilene. For some reason I cannot explain, I feel compelled to use all the words offered in Broken Wings contests, not just one. I think the words embed in my brain then spill out again.

It's funny how a poem can end up revelling what's on one's mind, even though I did not start out with that intension at all Jan. As far as being lied to in affairs of the heart....I could write a book!

That would be a storm of epic disaster, Jean.
