Lost

His touch like summer upon your skin
No place you’d rather be,
Waken in dawn’s early light
To find it’s all a memory.

Did he call you baby
Write your name deep in the sand,
Explain the things you never knew
Or didn’t understand.
Did he chase away the lurking ghosts
Of lovers from another day
As you surrendered to him completely
And got carried away.

Was he just another shadowed hope
Or The One dressed in disguise,
Among the incidents and accidents
You got tripped up in his lies.
Did he call you his sweet darlin’
While he looked into your eyes
As each and every heart beat
Echoed his goodbyes.
Just what is it makes a man
Turn his back I cannot say,
You got lost on his horizon
And were carried away,
Just carried away.

And the days roll by like freight trains
Speeding down a wrong way track
Try to still the memories in your head
But there ain’t no turning back.
All along you somehow knew
You’d breathe for yourself one day.
Swept up like debris caught in his tide
As you got carried away,
Carried away.

Now you stand on higher ground
In a place where you belong,
Took some time to find yourself
But you were with you all along.
All the love you hold inside
Someone will see one day,
Then I’ll watch the words fall off your page
That you've been carried away.

I’ll sit upon that shore again
And watch you carried away.

Released

Hey Lovesick Fools,

Today's post is by the eccentric Barry from the blog Life in Quotations. He is my most recent follower and a vigorous commenter. Always lengthy and well thought out. This is his poem: Released. I hope you all enjoy the read.

Released

What goes on in your good-girl mind
Hushed from temptuous thought and deed,
As if being done a favour.
“Please do tell me how to act," they think to hear,
"For I know not what I want.”
Oh, if they only knew of the strength of your desire
To unfurl your wings in their midst
And fly untethered.

But when night visits and your thoughts play alone
And you drift, freeing your will from another’s grasp
What do you dream as your eyes weigh heavy?
While The One beside you sleeps.
Do you welcome another to your door ,
To your bed?
Do you breathe his breath as your own,
Heart against heart
Feeling his life inside you.
Writhing beneath the weight of his mass,
Giving in to that beautiful release.
Breathless body strewn across crumpled sheets,
Spent, used,
But blissfully fulfilled.
And again.

And the hours pass unnoticed,
Their birth and decay measured only
In reckless heartbeats
Teeth-torn wrappers scattered around you.
Fading droplets in your glass.
This moment a lifetime.

All too soon the sun greets your window
And The One stirs,
Signalling a return to your world.
Accompanied, yet alone.

What goes on in your good-girl mind
What shadows lurk, what secrets to find?
Would you surrender yourself
For one night of sin
When the wind blows through your door
And the wolf creeps in?

Let me breathe again

Hey all!!

Let Me Breathe Again

She stood there, grey eyes obscured
and shoulder exposed.
Lips stained red from biting,
she gives me one look -
and I'm hers.

Her jasmine scent lingers on my sheets,
long after she's gone.
I hesitate to wash them,
Cause I don't know when she will be back.
Or if she will even return.

The taste of her crimson lips;
Her hot breath against my neck when we're One.
I pull her closer but she is relentless.
Teasing me as her lips ghost over mine -
And then she pulls back.

Her pressure on my neck,
Sinking her finger tips.
I relish when she digs her nails deeply into my back,
drawing blood when she pulls me closer finally.

I want to do bad things to you . . .
She would whisper into my ear,
Her warm breath tickling me.
A moan escapes when her fingers trails down my chest.
Dancing past my stomach...
But stopping just before she reaches the place I long for her touch.

My breath hitches.
And she chuckles before pressing her soft lips against mine.
Too easy, baby.
