RELATIONSHIP Poem: For Cherish , by Cletus Thomas

I would desire to sink into your body
deep into the ocean as the titanic sank
Into the Pacific, awake on this body as though on a seashore of the ocean I sank into, the feeling of your warm embrace as I explore this body of island
Your eyes a starlight and when you stare
I could feel the sun rays on this dear skin that sits on my
Bones and drive my desire for yours.
I see you fine brown girl
In twilight’s tender our soul entwined in a secret place
With eyes aflame, we shared a lustful gaze-
A yearning passion that set our hearts ablaze.
Forbidden love, a tempting furtive tape
As our fingers brush igniting fervent fire, a desire whisper rising ever higher. With a stolen kiss, a breathless sigh, we wrote our love in silent fervent verse
In moonlight tender glow at night we found our way.
These two hearts aflame forbidden love’s display,
a passionate lustful union secret and complete In twilight’s arm, our love was bittersweet.
When the war came, we fought, we fought with our words as firearms fired against opponents as in warfront
I would surrender even now to become captive to this love and lust.
But every prisoner seeks true freedom
And every lover seeks true affection.
