Love's MadMan

Love's Madman

I have become as a madman
Possessed by the one
Emotion no man can resist
LOVE

It has taken human form
and has reached me with
breath and breasts 
and flesh upon sweet flesh

My mind swirls
in pools of pleasures
of dark  desires 
Consuming her body
with thirsted kisses  
tasting the temptation
that was once a stranger
yet, is a stranger no more

Her eyes, torment my thoughts
and I savor her mouth
with every swallow
Her aroma lifts itself
to my nostrils 
and I scream for the chance 
to devour her again

I have become as a madman
and am LOST
in her wantonness

Burning in the fire
which does not burn
Staring, blindly, 
into the light 
which does not illuminate
Praying for release
from the prison
which has no walls

Only, come to me 
this last night
Soothe my ravaged
spirit with the salve
of your body

I desire nothing more
yearn for nothing more
than eternal moments
in your arms
where I will find Peace and
Love's comforting caresses

Calm my terror
with the touch
of your lips,
the tenderness of your hands,
the purity of your voice

Do quickly
what you must
before this madman
is let loose upon the world

Reason for writing:

    Once, in everyone's life, there appears a lover who totally encompasses one's inner soul.  The emotional impact leaves the recipient in chaos - nearly mad with the desire, the Passion of the affair.  Until it happens to YOU, you will never know just how it feels.  TLR
