     What happened to our vehement catastrophe?
    The riptide that buried Under Sheets on our side?
    Our unremitting carnal longing and lustful desires
    Are all but gone and we've nothing left but our pride.

    You once told me to wait because you didn't want
    To be the other woman, but darling there was never
    Anyone but you in this one room hotel I call my heart
    Now this blinking vacant sign serves me only to taunt
    And remind Unreciprocated Sensuality that if we ever
    Daydream that maybe it truly is best not to start

    We are defined by our choices
    You chose not to love me, what for?
    Is there another man in your sight?

    With a tension in our voices
    We ignore what lies before
    Unneeded Sadism tonight

    thank you, I am glad you liked it.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
