Thinking...

Thinking of you brings
    a smile to my lips;
Thinking or you brings
    a feeling to my heart.

Smiles cover tears and
    feelings surface pain.
Should I say good-bye
    and prefer nothing to something?

Sylvia Edwards

Obsession

Longing to linger
    Lying beside you
        Laying my lips onto your lips
            Makes me wistful.

Considering your kisses
    Caressing inside me
        Coaxing away cares and concerns
            Keeps me blissful.

Entering an escapade
    Encouraging you inside
        Enticing all your eagerness
            Makes me playful.

Showing our secret
    Sharing you outside
        Shattering our serenity
            Keeps me fearful.
