Maybe

my kisses may excite you

my love may ignite you 

yet, my will may fight you

 

your eyes may undress me

your arms may caress me

yet, your will may arrest me

my desires will warm you 

my emotions will harm you

still..my words will warn you

your dreams will enfold me

your heart will scold me

still..your words will behold me

[John the Baptist]

Interesting device in this one. In the first three verses the last line seems to contradict the sentiments of the preceding two. It is as though a come on is counterbalanced by a warning. In the last verse, though, the message seems to say the risk is worth it. Perhaps that is the truth about all relationships.

Love the contradiction in this poem. When we live with someone and spend many years with that person there are times that we drive each other crazy and sometimes say unkind words we don’t really mean.

A tale of most lovers here. Very relatable

[Fran Marie]

love is complicated
at best it's never easy
going at all times
there's always some
rough times along
the way
Thanks so much for

I think this is a perfect description of love with all it's passion and messiness too. Not necessarily a warning, just an acceptance of reality. There is a shadow in our love relationships as well as in our psyches. I think you have expressed this brilliantly and it is refreshing to read a love poem that embraces the good as well as the bad.

[Fran Marie]

yes, love just
like everything
else has its ups
and downs the
good parts as well
as the bad..important
to keep it real

This is wonderful poetry for love wonder.
"your dreams will enfold me
your heart will scold me
still..your words will behold me"
I loved the above lines and I do believe. Women decide if love or not. Thank you dear Fran for sharing the outstanding poetry. You said everything needed in the words.

You are welcome dear Fran.

Nicely clever wordplay! I love when a love poem reflects the true ambivalence that many experience. Love is never straightforward. If not for such cliffhangers as you lay out here, love would not be such an irresistible rollercoaster to write about. You make love sound irresistible with strong rhyme & rhythm (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Fran Marie]

thanks Margie
s o right on
love is so fickled
who can ever figure
it out..filled with
unexpected surprises
good and bad..

I'm not sure if you are saying, beware of me I'm dangerous.
Enter at your own will.
Naturally being male that's what we do, and then it happens.

[Fran Marie]

yea.. enter at
your own risk
and it surely
does happen

There is love here, but it has a sharp edge to it.An incy wincy hint of danger. Great read Fran Marie. Hope you are keeping safe and well dear poet. All good wishes.
