He lifted her veil, looked at her face
Sleep so deep, lashes so long
Casting shadows on her cheeks like lace
Tenderness and desire fighting within
Wanting her, how can that be wrong?
This deep-seeded need, was that lust?
With all his guts, body wanted him to sin.
From tasting her sweetness while she slept
Keeping distance from her was a must
Would rather wait for her to love him!
Terza rima poem...chk out the rhyming pattern, you can see what I mean. except for the last two lines!

Keshi.
You should have gone to bed earlier instead of staying up to write poetry.
Ah but then you wouldn't have written the lovely lines about unremitting love/lust.
Must we suffer so for our Art?
Lovely. Emotive. You made my heart beat. Don't blush. Your passion speaks in this poem.
Interesting contrast with your previous post -
Thanks Keshi and Ghost..:)
