I am Desire,
that strenuous jailor whose nightly
visits leave victims
guility restless in lonely beds.
I, Desire, free readiness
by presenting visions of indulgent
abundance, I unbind
the notion of forbidden caresses.
Shaking lust over clandestine fruit
that ignores denial
I, Desire control flesh and blood
by awakening wishes,
then propose fancy as achievable
and invade any fortress
erected to misapplied rejection.
When I take the floor enthralment
drenches repression
with scent of self and emancipation
takes over control.
I am Desire and
no one denies my awesome ability
to rouse without fear of reprisal.
Despising restraint I enter hearts
that unguarded swell
with an ache for sensual freedom
never been known before
Note therefore that I, Desire fight
tooth and claw
to lead with clandestine nose-rings
those who persist in
voting for fetters as stronger than
draw toward liberation
passion's absolvement in release.
Oppose me and subjection will place
resolution as captive
under chained lock and key.
I believe in being an ultimate winner
for I am Desire
and subjugate moves to check my
intention of extrication
and when minds are set in resign
this is a reminder
that I am forever invincible.

WOW FAY ~ What aphrodisiac did you have for breakfast this morning to unleash this uncompromising and sensuous poem on us. I loved every word and will show it to ANGELA as an excuse for any "ungentlemanly" behaviour that might ensue ! thanks for sharing ~ also for the TRUTH in your exhilarating verse ! You are ~ as always ~ Lovely ! Your Friend BRIAN
Ha ha - thought I would pep up a dull Monday morning and the words were my only aphrodisiac Brian - - -So glad you loved every line and hope your Angela did not mind the reading my friend.
Yes, I've met the subject of your poem a few times. Damn powerful she is, too ... as well described in this fine offering, Fay. Enjoyed it!
Oh yes dear Louis - when Desire gets ahold well the mind can go crazy with such show of power - - - - glad you enjoyed the read.
A fine write Fay. Let's desire to write poems, and more will surely flow - or continue, if we've dried up a bit!
No 'hot desires' now though! lol. I'm Chairperson of the: "Keeping-anything-remotely-hot-or-likely-to-cause-excitement-under-firm-control" Committee! I bet there's only me in the group! heehee.
Thanks for the comment and the big smile my friend.
Fay, what have you been doing? I recognise in your words that youve been creeping into my mind and seducing me! Such wicked intent utmost in your actions. All i can say to you is - see you later on !
Ha ha - - 'tis the lady they call Desire who seduces my friend - I was only here minnion for a dull Monday morning - - (so pleased you recognised her powerful scheming) - hearty thanks for making me smile.
So well written Fay.....and the ultimate winner is: Fay
Bless you and thank you for this encouragement Fred.
the last two words are the best.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is so desirable. Beautiful strong poem. A dangerous thing to deal with is that desire. Must be maintained leashed and released only on the limited doses when necessary. A hard one to rule though. It is what I call: to still the fire from the devil and make good use of it.
Thank you indeed for this generous comment - Am humbled that the read brought so much more about such a subject as sheer desire. Love that last line re the fire Mal. - Thanks again.
You'r welcome
