Joyce Wolayo Poet Pantoum

This Delicate Love

He said we would enjoy ourselves
The first time we spoke and kissed
He didn’t care if my boyfriend wasn’t around
He only wanted to know me

The first time we spoke and kissed
He held my hands and heart at once
He only wanted to know me
He kissed me till I turned pale and blue

He held my hands and heart at once
And in that moment I fought off so many fears
He kissed me till I turned pale and blue
From that moment I knew I would get stuck on him

And in that moment I fought off so many fears
I wanted to lose myself in the sweet moment
From that moment I knew I would get stuck on him
A bitter sweet love so forbidden and delicate

I wanted to lose myself in the sweet moment
Flesh sometimes speaks louder than words
A bitter sweet love so forbidden and delicate
And desires so fast and passionate in our wake

Flesh some times speaks louder than words
He didn’t say he was stupid I should leave him
And desires so fast and passionate in our wake
We tangled our arms around each other in love

He didn’t say he was stupid I should leave him
He said we would enjoy ourselves
We tangled our arms around each other in love
He didn’t care if my boy friend wasn’t around.

Jerry T Curtis April 24, 2015 at 4:52 PM Dear Joyce, I saw you entered this wonderfully well constructed poem in my contest, but I'm not looking for Pantoum. What I am asking from members is to write with Homophones. An example : I know you know how to write = eye no ewe no how two right. Using words that sound the same, spelled differently . I hope you will give it another go. Thanks for your entry
