Long Anticipation Needs Attention

I watch her
Her lips, she’s kiss-able,
I listen to her
Her ideas, she’s adaptable.

I pull her to the corner.
My hands roll up her shirt,
I lift her breast out of her bra
Massage her caramel.
I touch it with two fingers
Light, small circles around it.
Her nipple swells.
I slowly rub it.
She steps away.

She makes a fist
And rubs her chest
Tightly over her heart,
“My heart is pounding pounding
This is too much for me." She says.

Author notes

With this poem, I wanted to show lust. Lust is identified through a longing between both people. Though the guy respects her, he is divided between what he desires and what he likes about her. Then he completely gives into lust which is identified by physical touching. She steps away, she reacts the way that she does because she is developing strong feelings for him. The last stanza describes the separation she is having with him and the overwhelming feelings she has within.

    I disagree with crisstiena. Lust can be with someone you know. Lust is a desire,that influences a thought or action- desire through physical or mental actions/thoughts. You can lust after someone you know, and also add attributes to them that they may not have. Lust is the attraction towards such sexual innuendo for personal satisfaction. (this is my own personal opinion.)
    A vivid and extremely descriptive poem.

    I enjoyed your lucid descriptions,

    especially the use of the word "caramel" - I thought that was particularly intriguing and original.
    Very interesting write on lust... it is respectful, so tastefully and gently done. Subtle, quiet, reserved kind of lust that is very enticing.

    Nononono... this is NOT lust. Lust is wanting that which you have no right to. Lust is about wanting someone for their looks, for praising their looks, for treating their looks as something of great importance. Mostly, the attraction is superficial and is based on instant chemistry rather than genuine caring. Usually we lust after people we do not know well, people we still feel comfortable fantasizing about. Lust fades if the person gains 5 pounds or gets grimy in the garden. And while lust might keep you feeling high on life for a month or two, lust rarely sustains. Lust will have your eyes wandering after a while, to find a new jump-start for your libido.

    Love is when there are a million things you want to say to someone, but when they look you in the eyes and hold you in their arms nothing in life matters other than being with that person at that moment. Love is when you find yourself spending every wish on him.. it's what none of us can point out because it's that unexplainable thing that only appears when you realise you are not asking yourself, 'What is love?' It's trust and faith, believing and not doubting...

    Your poem is not about lust. It's about that tiny bud of longing and a physical chemistry, emotional and intellectual compatibility, and acting in objective and benevolent ways to create a profoundly contented and life-enhancing experience. That experience is commonly known simply as... love.

    But saying all that, I do like the poem (apart from the capitalization). It has a raw innocence that touches my heart and makes it go boom-boom.

    This is a fantastic example of lust! I would do the exact same thing as she did, because when emotional feelings are involved, it's difficult to separate lust and love. Its so easy to be fooled when the emotions are coming from the victim...

    This is another great poem. It's passionate but not to the point of closeness and love. It does exactly what you wanted it to, it shows lust. A lust that seems like it can't come full circle.

    Lust is perhaps one of the more basic of our emotions and you have captured the feelings so well.

    It is easy to identify with your words, the longing, the needing, but feeling that you must stay in control and not give in to the basic instinct of lust.

    An excellent poem

    Wow, outstanding piece! I like how in the first stanza, at the beginning of the poem you made it seem like the guy is understanding and sweet, and pays attention to not just the physical, or sexual. Then followed by lust as you mentioned in your author notes. It's so very true. And a lot of people confuse lust with love, when there are two huge differences. Very very well written. Keep up the good writing! I would love to read more.

    I liked the first stanza because it was well crafted in terms of rhythm and content - light hearted, it made sense, introduced the piece well. The second stanza was about the lust, well written, perhaps a little tame for my tastes, but you may have alienated readers if you had gone for something a little harder, then the last stanza just brings it home, and it becomes real - like how everyone else is saying. Were I to leave any constructive criticism here, it would be to say that this was slightly impersonal. I didn't get the impression that you had any FEELING when you wrote this.

    Excellent work here, I love the duality you show with both points of view. It always amazes me when a poet can express such depth of human emotion, using so few words, but you have done just that. Even without your author notes, I could feel not only his lust over taking him, but her trepidation at sharing so much of herself. Awesome read, I am thrilled to have had the honor of reading.


  • Valdar Cuebiyari

    The way the poem progresses shows the unending story of love. The very legitimate issues you address here are ones that a lot of people don't know how to deal with. The way the girl in the story responds does show that she probably does have much deeper feelings for the man and that the physical act of sex would mean a whole lot more than simply being "sex". Perhaps she does not want to become attached in fear that he will not feel the same, or perhaps she is simply overwhelmed with feelings and doesn't know what to do.

    "I watch her
    Her lips, she’s kiss-able,
    I listen to her
    Her ideas, she’s adaptable."

    From the man's point of view, we aren't given much as far as what he is truly feeling, although you've placed many hints throughout the poem. In all things dealing with him, there is a sense of gentleness and great care when handling her. There is also a sense of the lust he is being overtaken by. It is a really good write and I enjoyed it. I hope I didn't bore you to tears. Keep it up! I always look forward to your writes.
