Burning

Bleh

His lascivious, lust-filled

Gaze is the color of

An oncoming storm.

He loves me.

His breath, hot and heavy,

A whirlwind of carnal need

Leaves me damp.

He loves me not

His hands so rough and ready,

Birth Goosebumps upon my skin,

Like hot water over cool breasts.

He loves me

His lips how they whisper,

Promises like entwined limbs weak,

From long nights.

He loves me not

He chases the shivers running up

The fine curve of my canvas with,

The consuming flame that-

He loves me

Grows with every kiss and caress,

His aching desire against mine,

This night, my morals melt-

He loves me not

Until there is nothing else left but hunger,

The burn of bourbon and slick skin,

Soft and firm

He loves me

Drawn out over eager bodies,

Controlled by lubricious longings,

Stretching and straining-

He loves me not

As we stroke this flame,

So deep inside,

Between us,

Again,

Gasping for air,

And again,

Begging him,

And again,

Moaning,

And again,

Screaming…

                 Gods

Have

Mercy

And I am lost.

What if he loves me?

Truly passionate and sensual. And the "He loves me - He loves me not" lines between the verses added a sense of rhythm to the whole thing. I read over them instead of reading them directly to make them feel more like ghost notes behind the poem. Good write.

[LaDee]

Whoa! I'm blown away. I was hanging on to each letter, each line. Great Job!

[Adora.xo]

Awe, thank you kindly! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it!

WOW. That would be the most wonderful thing to make some one feel like this.

[Adora.xo]

I should think so! Thanks for the review!

A passionate embrace becomes a
flaming ball of fire. With every kiss
the flame burns brighter until finally
it explodes and the couple is consumed.
This is a most clever poem .
Thank you,

Carnal and interesting. Especially on the "he loves me, he loves me not"....... although quite a different flower comes to mind than the typical one that is plucked whilst the "he/she loves, loves me not" is recited. Dirty mind aside, I do enjoy how it explores the difference, which the speaker questions at the end, of love and sex.

One thing, though, that I've noticed is that the middle four parts have a single quotation mark at the end of them. Other than that, phenomenal write!

I love it... it's so passionate, it takes me back to when I used to pick up one of those puff flower things and blow them of saying she loves me, she loves me not... thanks for the poem it cheered me up :D

You take something cliche...and make it all new...not to mention sexy as hell! Good grief girl this was good! High scores.
