Dark Desires of Love

An inspired poem which reflects upon love, the dangers and the wonder that exists in unrequited love.

The dark desires of lust filled men

Lost to the bliss of her sweet ignorance.

Their eyes undress her, rough and cold

Her body it shifts in the glory of attention.

 

She draws them, her body sways

Watching them all from a short distance.

The cry to be touched seems all too much

She sells herself as though at an auction.

 

The moment has passed, another man watches.

Protective, possessive, his eyes ablaze.

Simply his presence, her all and her crutch

Their eyes and their body throw wind to the caution.

 

Their eyes, they met in blazen lust

A glance, a stare, for the two it changes...

Lost in the sensual, fleeting moment

Bodies meeting in a sense of touch...

 

A lust replaced with unrequited love.

Their daring actions, a hunger for trust.

It always existed. It was simply dormant.

And now it is free, for all to be seen...

I love your portrayal of lust - you really hit the nail on the head with it. I can see your image of her, vivid in my mind's eye. Great job! My only question is that it seems to be more about lust than about unrequited love. I'm probably reading it wrong, but at the end the passion seems to be coming from both sides, not just one. Can you set me straight on this?
