"Eternity"
by Charlie W. EN Emotion (2005-08-29)

How long has it been?

How long since I have felt...
The warmth of a woman's skin
The gentleness of her touch
The softness of her hair

How long since I have heard...
The care in her words
The easiness in her breaths

How long since I have seen...
A smile on her face
The passion in her eyes

It has been too long.

Too long to remember...
Her warmth,
Her softness,
Her care,
Her smile.

How long?
It seems to me...
An eternity


"Dream Of Fantasys"
by Rhonda EN Conflict (2003-03-29)

Come lay with me
on satin sheets
littered with petals
of rose, so sweet.
Take me in
with lust filled eyes
devour the passion
that between us lies.
Through wetted lips
and teasing tongue
pleasures of flesh
we have begun.
With tender touch
fingers explore,
bodies enchanted
while hands adore.
At last united
once two, now one
what has started
cannot be undone.
Until the hunger
has been fulfilled
and rapid pulse
finally is stilled.
As bodies glisten
of faintest sweat
while held in passion
soaked and wet.
Now quiet slumber
shall not compare
to dreams of fantasies
next to share....


"Two-faced"
by Lee Logan EN Emotion (2003-01-22)

It's time for him to go out now,
where is his mask?
He won't be all alone now,
and this is no easy task.

Cause you see, he's two-faced.
One to show the world,
and another to show no one but himself,
when all that has gone away.

Pitiful and helpless it may be,
but it's what's there when the mask is removed.
He likes his new face so much,
he even wears it at home.

But when it all gets to be too much,
the mask must come off for a bit.
Tears can ruin a mask you know.
And we wouldn't want that, what would he show the world?

But he is careful to de-face only in private.
No one can see his hideous skin.
And he doesn't keep it off for long,
he likes the new face, being two-faced.

If only someone could see through,
and just maybe even remove,
this truely offensive outer shell.
Just the simple touch to make it go away.

Then, he'd know that he needs no mask.
That his face is beautiful,
that being two-faced
isn't all he thought it was.

Until then, of course, he'll be living in,
his fake world.
He may think he's upset without the mask,
but it only gets worse when you're
two-faced.


"You ask, I say"
by David Pottery EN Love (2002-02-20)

You ask where we are...
and I say
'together'

You ask who I am
and I say
'yours'

You ask what we're doing
and I say
'living'

You ask how we got here
and I say
'fate'

You ask why I love you
and I just
smile.


"wallflower's song"
by megan-elizabeth m. EN People (2001-03-22)

i suppose it's only in fairy stories that
clandestine beauty, up against a wall
and scarcely beginning to bloom, is enough
to compete with girls finely crafted out of rhinestones,
spinning and laughing madly there,
insidethefire. i suppose it's less dangerous
when you stay away from the girls
with that very fire reflected-in (or is it emanating-from?)
their eyes.

i have seen your ginger approach toward those flames
and through them. do you think i don't know that
you yearn for that life with a hellish, clawing desire?
(and those flames will die away,
the dance will end,
it will not last the night). i see these things from my place in the corner.

the dance will end

(but still, there are those drawn to the temptation of the flames!) there are those
who are set on fire from the outside, in one moment of frenzy.

but there are those whose fires come from inside,
small, shimmering, radiating, warm,

rarely noticed.
