Holding gently on satisfied lips

Love is conflicting, confusing, we search for love, fall victim to it's perils, and just when we have reached our end, an equal reaches out and brush against us, giving us hope.

In tearful whispers, I cried out

Why does love treat us like unworthy w****s?

begging in deft for that someone

willingly bending over, spreading legs to their want

knowing they will deny us in the end.

I implore you, feel this tender love so deprived

oh how the wishful heart bleeds

carried forth by a callous tramp with an unsatisfied appetite,

practiced manipulation of the w***e’s gleeful wringing hands.

I implore you, bring me your love in promise

run your spinster fingers down the nape of my neck

burrow your tongue into my waiting mouth

whisper down my throat, your desires

and fill my soul with words my heart aches to hear.

Meet me in a lover’s dreams

together, we shall run away

high above the world in which we exist

watching the w***e of hurt and pain

settle into the darkness of human despair.

and if you will meet me in the morrow’s dream

offering the simple gift of self

should you utter love in a selfless breath

I will keep that very breath, twice

holding it gently on satisfied lips.

Always in search of the invisible, evasive soulmate - wandering through a maze of feelings, thoughts, emotions...it sure is a perilous journey..but as long as hope remains, it is a journey worth taking....
I love this:
"and if you will meet me in the morrow’s dream
offering the simple gift of self
should you utter love in a selfless breath
I will keep that very breath, twice
holding it gently on satisfied lips"

i was a fool not to read this piece for 4 days...this is an excellent piece of straight forward, to the point poetry.the void created by loss of love prompts questions that may take an eternity to get answered. the most beautiful part of this piece that its love that you question and not the one who loved...guess it right to say that its not the person..its love that fades out...

this is great.It made me feel contempt and desire.I felt real uncomfortable with the tounge burrowing andthe whispers down the throat.I love to read things that make me uncomfortable.No sugar coating states that if I can not find anything wrong with the poem I tell you so .Love it!

I felt the pain, I was with you..! spectacular metaphors..

Amazing poetry. The first lines grab my attention.
"In tearful whispers, I cried out
Why does love treat us like unworthy w****s?"
The worst part of love. In the end we become the master and try to control a emotion that should run free. The poem got more hopeful and I like the ending. Strong statements and straight to the point poetry. Thank you.

beautiful!
and if you will meet me in the morrow’s dream
offering the simple gift of self

I will keep that very breath, twice
holding it gently on satisfied lips.

Look just pay me 100 bucks an hour and I'm yours.

We all look for that someone special dont we, our soul mate, but most make a compromise or mistake lust for love, your poem excelled in this aspect for me, so well written George, thank you

This is so beautiful, tender and full of hope! I was married to a manwhore for 23 years. To rise above the hurt and pain, to find that love whose every breathe you desire is absolutely breathtaking! To feel satisfied physically and emotionally with another is beyond any words that I could ever write, but I hold them in my heart some where:) Loved this dreamy, wonderful write!!!

Ten minutes. That is how long I have spent trying to find the right words to express the way I felt about this piece. I have read it several times within ten minutes and each time I am overcome by emotions I cannot write down. There is not a line or a few lines I can claim as my favorite because to me this poem speaks only as a whole, one entity. Brilliantly written words of despair and love. Oh so close to home...

This is beautiful; full of emotion, heartache, longing. Everyone deserves to experience love and to find the love of their life, but it's so hard to find and most people go their whole lives without even finding one person to share their life with. This was a beautiful poem. Great job. :)
