AT THE JUNCTION OF DILEMMA
My mind and my heart clash And in their most horrendous bash They win in turns The heart mellows and turns The head stands firm And squirm It ends up with the heart wanting The head weighing So what is this? I want you I fear you I need you But my head can’t […]

SONGS OF A RESOLUTION

LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH

ECSTACIA (ADULT POETRY)
Now I indulge in chanty duets Not painful pushy frets I ascend the heavens, Pass cloud nines to the elevens, Held by potent electricity Lighted from my sternum, cursing my chastity Smooth cheeks take me far Bewhiskered, and we are at par The delectation of each brush Grants my vehicle a fuel stash To […]
