I meet a face, a stunningly beautiful face
My eyes were enraptured by the grace
A Mona Lisa smile and amazing eyes
To my shame came a thought I despise
My eyes desired what my integrity dreads
As they descended down from her head
To her breasts and between her thighs
For a moment my soul was caught in trap of lies
My desire to sensually touch and caress
Created a passion to slowly undress
I wanted to strip her bare to see her skin
I knew my imagination was leading me to sin
My lonely heart was consuming control
I felt my arousal start to drain my soul
I saw through her eyes a passion for intimacy
I knew she too had unfulfilled fantasy
I breathed the spirit back into my soul
I would not be the one to bury us in depravity's hole
I chose to know the woman behind the face
Not a beautiful body with the allure of grace
I learned of the evil and the pain of her past
How from death to life she had passed
I saw strength of character beyond compare
I saw how she gained joy out of awful despair
Yes, I did see her completely naked and bare
Though the things she was bold enough to share
Yes, I did see beyond her adoring, tender eyes
Much more sweet than breasts or between her thighs.
My whole being was aroused to passion
My heart ejaculated the fluid of compassion
Not by a body and face perfectly formed
But by a beautiful soul who had been torn

excellent~
The first part of the poem shows your wanton and lust for the woman...taking her for your own needs...
Then the second part of the poem...
You see her for what she is...beyond the wanton and lust..
Just showing your side of compassion for the woman she is and not just for the sex alone...
This is a very powerful and thought provoking poem....
And to me this should get a trophy...
It is most definitely worthy of one
Hugs n love

Hi Bob, this is, touching and amazingly honest. It takes a strong man, one is Christ, to look past lust and desire of the skin, into the soul, the spirit of purety and light.
Very well written with a seemless rhyme. Good luck in this contest, this is a powerful verse.
blessings,
Michelle
