Or have you faded away like the candles I ignited during my praying hours? There is more to this than we can tell, oh my sweetheart! That same force that binds fishes to sea and birds to air A cup of kisses and a night of blissful romance, sweetheart, Surely would trigger the melody of our intoxicating affection Your images rotate inside my head during my meditation You are still the greatest temptation to my honey chastity More often I dream holding you in my freezing arms, my love pg. 10 And to devour you like brown sugar and chocolate pizza I closed my eyes and saw memories of us in passionate state That‘s you riding on me to where I‘ve never dreamt I could be That‘s you touching every part of me eagerly like a leaping hyena With our lips glued and my hands traveling on your chest Memories of you can‘t be wiped away even with erasers The emotions you have built in me is like a reoccurring volcano I long to hold your neck once more and kiss you endlessly But until then, remember that I wouldn‘t forget my promises Loving you makes me stronger and hold on to my healer My hands around your neck and down to your hips, my love My hands rolling on your back and up to your breast, my love My lips on your nipples and your back bending to the bed Hearing the sound of your breath and feeling your smooth skin Is a magic that science cannot prove; yes, all of you is vanilla And I can never have enough, more and more till the end of time And if you be mine, more and more till eternity and beyond Do I seduce you with my poetry? Get it off, all that can resist My heart is shattered like a green garden hit by deforestation You are my joy and my pain, yet again you are my true love And when I meet you again, I will devour you like a hungry lion pg. 11 Months gone and I am starving of your internal sensation Come to me and I will never let go of your highly electric body I will shoot you to the moon and make you groan speechlessly And I will softly caress your laps till I get to your clitoris Arm in arm till day break at dawn, dancing on each other‘s body There is more to this than we can tell, oh my sweetheart! That same force that binds fishes to sea and birds to air A cup of kisses and a night of blissful romance, sweetheart pg. 12 GLIMMER OF LOVE Steven Dangu The light that birth darkness Led to the abyss of oblivion. Yet, the amour shines radiantly with the sun Being a shield against spears and swords Penetrating to the marrow: Fragrant beauty resonates, consuming. Fairest of all Shines brighter to none. In the days of barren silence, Your words quenched all my thirst; Satisfied my longing. Yet, it made me long for more; I‘m addicted. No paraphernalia to waltz Matilda through the abundance of Katherine. All focused on you; the stars, camera and action you put me through. I cross my heart and dot my I‘s from all the T‘s abounding. pg. 13 LOVE IS LONELY Alaghde T. Kelvin Staring at the ceiling, My heart starts to flicker And I can't figure out my feeling Slowly sucking in my rainmaker And I can't believe I'm grieving Ever breaking my heart without breaker It was all good having fun But I never knew her words shoot and crack without gun.
