sine qua non....

no angel would speak

of

           what

                          we did

no angel would speak

of

          what

                  it

                        was

                                                                                       a perfect moment                             

                                                         a perfect place 

         

                                                                            a perfect sin

 

 

 

the lust ~ she wants ~ the craving

 

his burning ~ his anticipation

 

the heat ~ the fire ~ lurid desire

 

muscles tense ~ spontaneous climax

 

 

 

no angels would speak

of

            what

                        we

                                      did.....

      understanding some things just are...and have to be

      i hope not bad memories..there are things that just cannot be denied and if we did..i think regret might creep in...

      sine qua non..".without which not ",.".an indespensible condition."..

      some things we just don't have control of....

    In German we have that saying which translates roughly as "the gentleman enjoys and keeps silent" (I suppose it's between the lines of "don't kiss and tell" or something like that, but I digress) -- I love the subtlety of this poem a lot. Sometimes what we can't see is much more exciting than to see (or read) everything in great graphic detail -- there is so much crude erotica around, it's such a pleasure to read a piece as lovely as yours.

    I like the formatting of the poem, and I believe the repetition works really well. It weaves a net that is supporting the whole poem, ties together lose ends and makes the whole piece a well-rounded, greatly written piece of poetry. Nice use of internal rhyme as well.
