The Lonely Room

It seems way too often that I wait for you alone in this room.
When you arrive, there is euphoria, but it leaves way too soon.
Our passion is a torrent; we ride the waves of our gushing hearts.  
I love when you scream into my pillows as we act as ravagers in the dark.
I try hard to hold on to you, but you leave like the escaping tide.
I sit wishing and dreaming about the next time you will arrive.
Yes, it seems I am damned to long for you in this empty room.
Happy your love returns to me, even though it leaves so soon.

A fleeting love is a hard one to accept but we're always happy when they return again. thanks for sharing.

Whoa. I am speechless. What a wonderful rhyme scheme going great together with what you want to express. I admire this poem as I can feel the depth of your words.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

The passion the loneliness.. sometimes we wonder where’s the balance.. wonderful words making us realise how we allow ourselves to be treated at times, great words🌹

Thank you for reading. It was important to me to convey the sense of loneliness and passion as a tide that leaves and builds up over time. I had not written a love poem in some time and I wanted to convey the need/desire for love that is not constant.

Sensually romantic and somewhat lonely in context. When Love and Sex collide it is a truly sublime perfection that many seek but never find. A beautiful addiction...

Good work.

Thank you for reading and getting the point of my poem. It is a powerful thing to want and desire without certainty!

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Yes, euphora! It fills us up to overflowing then spills across the floor. We can linger over the spillage or clean it up and wait anew. It's a drug that we always desire but the high never lasts.

You get the meaning of the poem and the message that I wanted to send in the words. Thank you for reading.
