one


to one she is the one
to one she'll always be
a heartbreaker, the one that got away
to one she's been the other woman
to another she cheated on 'n strayed
to one she was a wife
to one a loving mother
to one she is the standard "perfect woman"
a guide to any other "one" he meets
to some she's such a fantasy, of eye candy
the ultimate, the instant
sexual turn-on
catching their eyes, turning heads, she catches their breath
and yet she doesn't bat an eye
to one she is a velvet voice
longed for, so far, for so long, so away
to one she gives and gives to, all her heart n soul
to one she seems a sure thing, a geometric "given"
forced invisible, lost...fighting the inevitable fade
into patterns, cycles that repeat
then slowly turn to jade
to one she screams to silently at nite
love me hard n true
let go
and let me love you all the way, in all ways

all this--she asks--in one day?

Hi Elayne,
your words are the fire.
this is seriously engaging.
May you always find a way to express the inexpressible.

love the poem you recently posted on here...I love your other works as well :)

I read it a few times because it made me feel dizzy :) It had the same effect on me as listening to the finest jazz drumming you can think of. It just hit parts of my brain that i forgot i had.

Thanks......

May the circle go unbroken
Thru' healing that's spoken
Much more than a mere token
Without your passion being taken
