The End Of The Night

by aScientist

Published October 27, 2011

I just wanted a kiss
nothing but your kiss,
now I can't believe
how it came to this;
that I'd be so analytical
yet so hypocritical
to think lust is not primitive;
that it can't take us all.

You lie there, in wait,
alluring like fresh bait,
and hope the night'll go slowly
as you find your mate,
and I can't help but procrastinate
do you intoxicate or inebriate,
whether you sooth my senses,
or whether it's just the drink?

For I am just a man
I hold out while I can,
but I know that it's fruitless
as you take my hand.

First poem. Please don't be hating on me. Also, intentional rhyme disruption at the end of 2nd stanza, so don't call it a mistake. :)

I really liked this; as a girl it was nice to get a boy's perspective on things. Plus, you managed to cover a deep subject, yet keep your poetry mind on! But, because I don't have any complaints I'll keep this short.

LOVE THE FLOW OF THIS SECTION

I loved this poem of yours. It's absolutely amazing, my eyes felt like melting (in a good way, of course). Your writing is beautiful. Keep up the good work!
