Infatuation


I know it's not right,

I know its not fair,

Every time you look that way,

I just can't bare

 

You flick a switch, 

becomes so bright

Only you can douse the flames of desire, 

Especially at night.

 

We barely talk,

Meeting in a way,

Animal instincts taking sway.

Little room for else.

 

Look of passion in your eyes,

Sets my soul on fire.

Can't stand this no more,

I go crazy at the door.

 

Hardly know you,

yet you know the score,

Anticipate my waking head,

Before  I say it, you're already in bed. 

 

Time goes by,

Things start to glow,

Differences between us burn bright,

Its difficult not to show.

 

I hate you,

I love you,

Get out of my head,

One second, please don't.......I feel dead. 

 

Am confused,

Lost

Full of

Desire too

 

This lust that exists between us,

No good for either of .........

I want to leave, 

Hold over me,

 

Behaving

Like

A

Scalded puppy.

 

Alone at work,

Deadlines approaching,

Hearts a pulsing,

I need my fix.

 

One last text,

One last chat,

Say good bye now.

Not sure I can leave it at that.

Like a lot of us been through shitty parts in my life. In 2018 I was living in London, attending a part time acting school. It was a great time. Also I was presenting at an event, one of the tutors at the acting school took me under his wing and mentored me. Part of that process he taught me how to write poetry, or at least express myself through it. Now, I write a poem every day, I write for a hobby. I've had a varied career, the only thing I can say is writing is the best things I've ever done. I absolutely love it. Have got 14 publications on a short story website and launching my own website in December 2022, http://www.PeterGreenhall.com Feel free to add any comments. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
