As We Lay


Time’s forgotten
Reality fades
Oblivion over takes us
Passion rules
Two tangled hearts
Not even God can save us

Morning wakes
As we lay
Wrapped up in each other
Days slip away
But no one sees
Our life ~ is one another

Hands massage
Arousing lust
I quiver with desire
Breathing harsh
Swallowed screams
Our passion stirs the fire

Yawning chasms
Thrusting swords
I’m lost in your caress
Taking ~ giving
Dying ~ living
In each other we obsess

Fervor fuses
Minds and bodies
We are joined as one
Endless promise
Sensuous stupor
Love has just begun.

    I will have to think about how I might clarify that. I'm not sure I'll do it exactly as you've suggested, but thanks for pointing that out. Maybe someone else will have a comment, about that line.

    A wonderful poem. I remember those weekends very clearly.

    One suggestion for you:

    Days slip away But no one sees Our life
    ~ is one another

    Days slip away But no one sees
    Our life ~ is one another

    without punctuation I had to go back and re-read for clarity.
    Just a thought.

    This is absolutely wonderful! I love the obsessive tone this piece took; the outstanding use of diction and succinct stanzas connect me even more deeply to this tantric human communion. This is heavily descriptive, and while some parts of it seem to paint the image of you being drained at one moment, the ultimate filling of desire and need comes toward the end. I see where your principle of balance comes in--which is something I believe in for myself. I love this piece, it's wonderful! I laud you on this attempt. Good luck, and thanks for the entry!

    Many blessings,

    Raven Aurora

    Much description in few words. I liked it very much. You dont need long sentences for good imagery. In fact it's all the better the shorter it is. It imprints itself into the brain more quickly I think as you are assimilating the rest of the poem, like adding things to a filing drawer or adding
    paint in dabs to make a larger picture. I enjoyed this very much. Good luck int he contest.

    I think this is very well written, symbolic yet descriptive. Beautifully romantic yet hot too. It flowed smoothly too. I guess I shall go read the poem that inspired this.

    Typical truth...i like this but i've read similar things many times...you should have a particualr event that you can discribe more discribtion of around so you can blur it out and focus on the subject after....just a suggestion....really nice though....clammy.
