Desire is
feral, that
touches you
until your
insides melt
like a cloud
while words sweet
softly kiss
muted thoughts
🌼
Disheveled
like a pale
rose in sand
my fragrance
clings to you
unchanging
until you
arise from
stranger dreams
🌼
I trace words
on soft skin
not paper
lest passion
wastes away
with blue rain
Desire is
knowing I
can’t have you
🌼
Align my
fleeting thoughts
I’m certain
you know it’s
your name that’s
on my lips
though whispered
in velvet
hot darkness

Desire. I love that word in a sensuous setting. You did that so very well, Sanaa. I still shake off a little like a wet dog when I read yours or have thoughts arising. With a slight smile on my face. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Jim 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
All tricube gems, Sanaa! I love the imagery of desire melting your insides like a cloud and the lines:
‘I trace words
on soft skin
not paper
lest passion
wastes away
with blue rain’.
Thank you so much, Kim 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
Such a beautiful but oh so sad love poem Sanaa.
Thank you so much, Robin 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
Longing, and the whole idea of “longing,” is a sad thing. Someone is not here, someone is gone away, someone is with someone else. Makes for pretty sad poems….
To let somone live “rent free in your head,” and in your heart is a waste. Hard to control. There just has to be other ways to be?
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Annell ❤️
Deliciously sensual! But sad that one feels frustrated in the longing, knowing the person desired is (for some reason) out of reach.
Thank you so much, Mary 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
Sanaa, your words are indeed beautiful.
“velvet
hot darkness”
Love those words to bits!

“Desire is knowing i cant have you” is so painfully beautiful. Sigh. You used this form so beautifully. I love “Disheveled as a pale rose in sand”.

I want to take the first 3 words of your poem and dance with them for days and days and days and nights… “Desire is/feral”–what a thought! The images that phrase brings to mind are wild and glorious, and screaming for a story of their own. Yum! Yum!! Yum!!!
Aww gosh!❤️ Thank you so much, Magaly 😀 so glad you enjoyed it!❤️
Well, girl, another amazing poem fro the realm of the forbidden fruit. I hope these are not autobiographical, for I wish to read more of them.
