Unbridled lust thunders through my veins
like the fiery winged steeds of Apollo’s chariot
as the thirst for touch remains unquenched.
My insatiable need burns for release,
matching in ferocity to Greek fire.
The moon calls me forward to roam in the night
searching for lovers and the lover’s respite.
For in shadows and sheets can this heat be broken
because passions and wants are lusts own tokens.
Like a wolf I prowl to seek my prey
which are not easily caught by light of day.
But by the luminescence of the moon
may I find my boon
of a worthy champion
to conquer my rampant need
that plagues my body
without any heed.
Author notes
Oopsie. I forgot to put in the line about Greek fire because I write these and then type them. Not a huge deal so here it is.

Ah, great poem to start with! Very sensual, with great wording. You really do know how to write, using punctuation to control the flow of the poem in the way you want it. I notice that a lot of users on here have an absence of any use of punctuation. It makes for an interesting way to allow the reader to depict their own interpreted rhythm. I see it as a bad-habit if it's not intended, something that you don't clearly possess!

Thanks. This was a big relief to me when I first started because of all the wonderful poems I had read and I thought I could never write good poetry. Big confidence booster for me. And I love your poems.
