They Tease

by loretta Taylor   Jul 21, 2006


They taunt, they tease
They flirt to appease
The tearing want
The frenzied need.
To subdue pain inside
To forget tears they cried

Attraction flairs
Across crowded rooms
Veiled eyes hide lust in bloom
Hearts beat fast
Pulses pound
A love is lost, a love is found

A secret dalliance
A torrid affair
They will meet when they dare
Secret tryst in a rented room
Chancing their lust
Meeting their doom

    Wow! This is an incredible piece. Having lived this scene out many a time in my life, you captured its raw power and essence. Great poem.

    I would change one thing for flow, but that is just my humble opinion...

    These lines:

    Secret trysts in rented rooms
    They will chance their lust
    And meet their doom

    I would change to:

    Secret tryst in a rented room
    They will chance their lust
    Meeting their doom

    Then again, what the heck do I know. Great poem!
