Desire rides the waves of my womb Death is meant to reside in a tomb Don't deny my right to aspire Because you have lost your fire Ennui should make one stoke the spirit Not sit around and wallow in it
Men are weighed down by lack of vision Women too,get moody cause division There is no excuse except illness To sink into self pitying uselessness Jealous of a movie star who turns me on Yet ,I reach for you it's as if you're gone
Desire rides the waves of my womb Death is meant to reside in a tomb How long do I stay with a living corpse Before I'm forced to seek a divorce What can I do to rekindle your flame Your senseless funk has made you tame

As long as there is still a flame, there is hope.
Powerful and sad write.

sometimes we just have the accept when the flame cannot be rekindled or even if it existed at all ... if anyone should deny your right to aspire they are not worth the effort ...
Such a sad theme that expresses deep, honest yearning so poignantly. Don't know why but the song "It takes two baby" leapt into my head when I read this. Passionate desires expertly written here Eileen. Love Panda :)
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
