She Is Mine But His

I knew she had a spouse,
But his love no longer had her aroused,
So I saw that as a sign,
I could easily decipher,
Because of my level of awareness,
My consciousness obviously more experienced,
Letting him go was like suicide,
Miserably in pain but hard to execute,
The touch of my lips
Was a blast into the past,
Less time for her to reminisce,
Is the feeling a kiss she miss,
A question her mind couldn't resist,
But the touch of my hands was new,
My words were unique rhythms in tune,
She was overwhelmed by the rush,
Her soul admitting she was in love,
So she whispered in my ears softly,
Saying her soul is mine,
But her body is his

First off the last line caught me by the throat but i love how u opened saying "I knew she had a spouse..", it sparked my interest.. So unique.I like how it's coming from the past lover's point of view, I never really see anything from that side so this was very refreshing to read.

I enjoyed reading your poem. A forbidden love. "Saying her soul is mine,
But her body is his ." To me this type of love has an uncertain future.. It's like
living this love in the moment. Reminds me of a song called, "secret lover."
Your poem is well expressed, written and very believable. Good job. Keep writing..
