Secret Dream-Thoughts of a Married Man

Member since 2005 · Posted 3 Aug 2005 · 12 comments

His hands are soft upon my skin And he touches me deep down within... And he looks at me with silent desire but he does not know I am the one, that feels his fire... I watch his mouth and catch every word and pretend like I am listening But hardly nothing, I have heard... His body stands tall like a great oak tree Oh press your body, gently,needingly upon me... I imagine that you stroke my thighs and quench my thirst I can not breathe My heart pounds loudly, like it might burst... If only you knew what my eyes think You,d press your lips on mine and feel me sink... Into your soul I,d fall so fast and show you love and everlast... This secret I hold must be said someday But I am afraid It may make you go away... So for now, I will want you only in my thoughts I,ll watch from a distance So I won,t be caught... Because you are with another the mother of your sons I would never harm them Until you decide, its over and done...

I like it - the subject matter hits home. Honest and sad without being weepy. I stumbled over one line: "If you only knew what my eyes think"... The rest was concrete, but that was kind of abstract. Thanks for sharing

I'm not sure the jagged metrics work for this poem. Excellent use of everlast as a verb (or possibly a noun)
