Cuts both ways

His fingers roam all over.

The points are rising,

seeking more pleasure.

She can whisper

those naughty sweet words

she cannot utter otherwise.

She takes her inside out

and burns again and again

dreaming a knight’s sword

and riding towards a distant land;

only to wake and find

that she is with him

who should have been”ex”

long time past.

Excellent! I loved it.

Sounds bittersweet and speaks volumes about loneliness, in my opinion. Although we're in a relationship, sometimes we wish otherwise. That's my interpretation anyway.
Another great write my friend. Thank you for posting to our group. Dream, Julia

Nice poem

There's what we dream of, and what we actually have. Too many times, the difference is vast. Great job.

This was very good, and I think too many women have done this!
Lisa Frost Jan 24, 2009, 10:10pm EST
very good write. Too many live this way, dreaming of something and living the lie.
Elizabeth B. Jan 24, 2009, 10:20pm EST
very good!
Lexa Daily Jan 24, 2009, 10:33pm EST
I agree with Julia about the interpretation. Excellent writing and imagery.
Kimberly Ripley Jan 24, 2009, 10:38pm EST
Excellent writing. Brutal "in your face" honesty.

The lure and desire of the one who is not "right" is so finely portrayed in your poem.

Too many people keep accepting past relationships back into their lives knowing that it will hurt them to do so.
OH yes so many take the ease of continuing in a relationship where all is lost to long.
wasted time. . .no a experince to learn as pass on
excelent

No mystery here! Very well written, Poddar, and I'm sure many women who read this can identify with it.

glad I don't have to dream, I have the real thing. :=)

typo: only towake and find

Usage note: "cannot" is actually one word, though it can be spelled 'can not,' "cannot" is far more acceptable.
Dorothy H. Jan 25, 2009, 6:39am EST
Nice one! Thanks!
Ann M. (Site Scryer) Jan 25, 2009, 9:48am EST
Mmmm. Sensual with a touch of foreboding. I love the double meaning of the sword.
