Unjust Love

The naked desires lie forgotten,
all week long, waiting and longing,
for his glance , his touch, one chance;
the kisses that breathe fire into me,
whispers that flow from his lips,
his prayers, or mine, or fears entwined;
the dreams that we revive every night,
which never stand a chance in day,
the world so heavy, the hearts so weak;
the promises we remember from the past,
and wishes we never thought we had,
the love , the longing , the lust , all unjust ?

  1. it's tough when the dreams never stand a chance in day...the longing..the struggle..really can feel the emotions in this...and that last question...? good question.. and a hard one to answer for yourself..

  6. The wistfulness of dreaming, not being sure it will come to pass... how many years of my life did I spend dreaming of one thing while doing another? This hit me right where I live, Nimue, and this blog is lovely, too. Peace, my friend, Amy
