IT WAS JUST A FIREY PASSION

IT WAS JUST A FIREY PASSION

Nothing more

And

Nothing less

Just two friends

Meeting at weekends

A lovers tryst

Some may call

A tete-a-tete

But was it just two lovers

That should not be?

Trying to capture some semblance

Of being happy

Their bored, sad existences

Their bored sad partners

But when they are together

The world does not exist

It’s their lovers tryst

Swimming in the same oceans

Swimming in the same potions

Devouring

Consuming

Each other’s overwhelming urges

Consuming each other’s passions

A passion so fiery and mighty

Hunger for each other

A hunger that needs to last

A hunger that they both grasp

Gasp!

Leaving each other breathless

Their bodies entwined

In a sea of ecstasy

The rippling waves

Rippling through each other’s bodies

Heightened

Heightening

Orgasmic orgasms

They are together

Together as one

Two hearts beating as one

Two hearts racing

Two bodies racing

Two bodies as one

Two bodies caressing together sweetly

In a rhythmic flow

Clutching each other

Not wanting to let go

Their bodies sweat

Tasting each other’s sweetness

She’s pulling him closer

Wanting more and more

More of his caresses

More of his kisses

His ecstasy

He holds her so that she does not drown

He wants more and more of her

More of her caresses

More of her kisses

Her ecstasy

Neither wanting to leave

Both clinging to each other

Never wanting this to end

This weekend or any other weekend

Their thoughts carry them to a better day

A day that they will be together forever

Not just at the weekends

A tete-a-tete

Or an illicit weekend

A complete wholeness

With their fiery passions

And love for each other

I NEED TO FEEL WHOLE

I NEED TO FEEL WHOLE

Whole like a woman should

Living alone is so lonely

When I fall in love with you

It will be completely

With all of my passions

My ecstasy

My heart and soul

The tenderest of touches

Is what I need from you!

Our eyes meet

Our eyes silently saying so much

Our touches of each other’s hands

The magical, magical

Heavenly touches

That means so much

Heading where we both have never been

Is this the power of love?

Sent from above!

Living alone is so lonely

But I am living in hope

That one day that I will give you my world

Slowly and patiently

Our love would grow

Be each other’s strengths

Be each other’s voices

Be each other’s eyes

Lifting each other when we are down

Be each other’s truths

Yet here I am feeling lonely without you!

Not feeling whole

Not feeling complete

In these greys, grey days

Yet here I sit

Hoping and wishing

That it won’t be too long

Before you make me feel whole

If you could see these eyes

Then let me be the one

That’ll love you forever more

All the way

Everyday!

TORN APART

TORN APART

TORN APART

Hey babe here I sit in the gloom

This darkened, darkened room

Gathering my thoughts

Gathering my feelings

Feelings that I felt for you

A heart that I thought I would keep for keeps

A love that I thought I would keep for keeps

Not just for keepsake

Not just a memory

Not just for the weekends

Gloom, gloom in this room

So now I wonder where my heart will beat next

A heart beat that is out of rhythm

A heart beat that is out of sync

A heart that is sinking

Deeper and deeper

In the pits of despair

All these empty rooms

Crowded with so many memories

I vowed that I would never, ever

Let my heart be broken

Never let my heart be taken

Never let anyone in

But I let you in

I learnt to trust you

I learnt to believe you

I learnt to let you in my life

I learnt to let you in my world

Trusted you

Trusted you

Hey babe

Now these nights seem like an eternity

Crying

Crying

Sobbing

A body that is wracking with pain

IF YOU COULD ONLY JUST

See what is happening to me now!

Did you know how much I felt?

So many, many questions

That I am asking myself

Did I give too much?

I know I did

Maybe gave too much too soon

But I noticed the change in you babe

We stopped going out together in public

Public places

You took me on holiday

You took me away

Took me to places of your past loves and lovers

I could tell by the poetry you had written

They were not about us

They were about them!

I could tell you had a hankering for one of them!

And now you are with her once again!

Why, oh why I keep asking myself

What had I done wrong

NOTHING!

Except fall for you like an idiot

A fool

But I just cannot get you out of my head!

Get you out of this heart

Get you out of this room

Get you out of my inner sights

Get you out of my thoughts

Dam, dam stupid woman I maybe

But right now this gloom

And this feeling of doom

Won’t last

Babe

Babe

If you ever see me in passing

Then you’ll know there is nothing outwardly defective

Damaged

Or

Destroyed

Except for my broken heart inside

Where I let you reside

Oh babe, oh babe

Lest we forget

Lest that I forget

Of which I will in time

Of which I will with patience

Then I’ll be out of this gloom and room

We shared together

WALKING ALONE

WALKING ALONE

It’s so lonely walking alone

This path so crazy

This path so hazy

The desolate sandy beach

Where you are so out of reach

The lonely figure behind me

What does he see?

I’m figuring the same

But all I can see

Was you and me

Are we the same?

The man that is behind

Both walking away

Away from the people we loved

Hand in hand not gloved

Missing their tenderest of touches

We walked this quiet beach

So lost in each other

Oblivious

So unaware

Of the noise of the traffic

Passing us by

Detached from the world

Not a care in the world

Now this world……..

Feels disconnected

Removed from all senses

A world deconstructed

A world that I thought would not be taken apart

But you did!

And it hurts inside

A pain so severe

Right here!

Here in this heart

You have torn it apart

The breeze rushes through my hair

I’m so trying not to care

You sure didn’t

If you did you wouldn’t have

So now two lonely figures

Walk this lonesome beach

Knowing we are out of each other’s reach

So if you could see me now

You’d never bow

Yet bow your head in disgrace

Total utter disgrace

That you can no longer show your face!

A face full of guilt

Guilt at the betrayal

Betrayal of my feelings

Emotions

Love

Passion

Supporting you through your

Heart attack

Oh you through it all back!

“We were never lovers, just friends”

Can you now imagine the pain?

The humiliation

The feeling like being a jerk

A whore

A slut

A piece of dirt

Just your fanciful piece

Just to fill your weekends

Weekends spent together

But not together

And here I am a total stranger to smiling

Laughing

And you threw it all away

But I know now it is over!

And I really, really hope

That your new lover

Is treated with respect

Dignity

And not just to fill in your lonely, lonely weekends
