Hate

present

so slow to kill.

Dying piece by piece,

an inner self, outer shell,

crumbled as this lady fell

- bitter and broken.

My soul wishes

to feel

hate

Example Poem

Trust

**

trust

cannot

be earned

by accident.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

it takes an event

to create.  A man must know

words  spoken by you are so.

Promise means intent.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

If kept when not

convenient

you earn

trust.

Example Poem

Kiss

#

My

tongue probes

parted lips

seeking your own.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Hesitant to leave

your lips, tongue tests lips texture,

explores their architecture.

Lingers lanquishly.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Then, insisting,

drives to touch

your own

tongue.

Tip

under

tip, over,

then whole tongue squeezed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Your mouth consuming

my probing, demanding tongue;

projecting promises sung

to lower body.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

My lips seek you

inside of

my mouth

too.

You

know that

this tongue tastes

tempting texture.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Warm smooth undulate

deems greedy mouth but proxy

for the vessel this foxy

lady promises.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Respiration,

pulse increase,

during

kiss.
