Alison Nel Poet I do not know?

Without Knowing Why, I Cry

I feel you coming closer
As you creep into my dreams, and
I close my eyes and drift away.
Tortured by my own imagination
Abused by my own thoughts …
My breathing is laboured and

Without knowing why, I cry….

A new day, a new dawn
Brings with it a hope of calm.
As the water cascades over my body
Sensual thoughts race into my mind
I see how we fit together
How we ride the waves of pleasure,
I experience the explosion
Floating, falling, drifting, coming,

Without knowing why, I cry ….

I realise once again
That my life will never be the same
Celibacy forced on me
And only in my dreams will I
ever feel a tender touch
Fulfilling my every need.

Without knowing why, I cry ….

Silent One October 20, 2017 at 9:29 AM This is a deep and sad write.. very emotive.. I have never heard of a bop format, but I think you could also use free verse... Alison Nel October 20, 2017 at 2:27 PM I really like this Bop - it is quite challenging. Three stanzas of 6, 8 and 6 lines each with a refrain. And yes - it is sad... Im glad you could feel the emotion.
