I fell for his tongue
(sweet poison inked into
art),
a satire of love.
I was lost, lost, lost… In lust
(without love) pleasure
has no north.
In the chaos of hidden thirsts,
he is madness (a learned art)
on skin, wanting and waiting…
hoping
love melts masks.

ReplyDeleteNeat, clever, and all those good words. I also found this,

Sometimes love grows out of what began as lust; sometimes love happens first and desire follows. And sometimes, I guess, they remain separate. A gorgeously sensual poem in any case!
ReplyDeleteLove can have so many beginnings...
Delete"Love melts masks" -- true in both the positive and negative senses!
ReplyDeleteWOW. I'm thinking about a satire of love AND love the line about without love, pleasure has no north. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to think if you fell for his tongue because of his voice or what he could do with it - very interesting.
ReplyDeleteBwahahaha!
DeleteDamn, you captured the drunk and dizzy feel of what's it's like to lust without love to anchor a person. The hopefulness at the end really moves me.
ReplyDeleteGo south, young lady ... go south!!!!! LOVED this, Magaly.

DeleteI like the passion. A smooth talker can mask the truth so eloquently.
ReplyDeleteYou brought tears to my eyes. We are so lucky that our compass give us a choice in which way to go. I love the last line.
ReplyDeleteNeat! All the passion and lust without the graphic details. What a sweet poem. :)
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant! You've expressed this so well, the idea that the sweetness of this interlude is also a poison, and the wonderful way it ends...just so beautifully written. My favourite lines:
ReplyDelete"pleasure
has no north"
"in the chaos of hidden thirsts"
"hoping
love melts masks"
"love melts masks" - what a wonderful line that is, Magaly!
ReplyDeleteAlways good to read your words, thank you.
ReplyDeleteSending my good wishes for this new month of November.
All the best Jan
