The Fight Becomes a Thrill

Once again you stand before my path

With a scorn so worn a smile’s a treat.

I dig for one but you’re in no mood to laugh

Though your rage appeals more than your sweet.

 

And via the venom in your voice,

You fail in your attempt to hurt me,

For it only serves to support my choice

That you’re the one upon I would exert me.

 

But presently I take satisfaction from

The fact that I cannot have the one

Thing I desire and desire with such fire too,

And despite the corners of my lips curling and searching,

As my eyes and ears look past the cardigan and cursing

You haven’t half a clue…

 

That I want you so much due

To the fact you’re all but gone.

I’d give in just to touch you

But you’re going all but gone.

Why won’t you subscribe to such views

That you could be the One?

For that just makes it harder still

Until

The fight becomes a thrill.

 

Now both you and the door are unhinged-

I’d like to enter, tell me if I can.

Your forehead’s hot beneath your fringe,

No olive branch, but you understand.

 

Hearts race away with sense in tow

But leaving just enough to feel the carpet burns

From whimpering on wooden floors as though

It’d catch alight and drown our yearns.

 

And we’ll explode with the satisfaction acquired from

The fact we’re having the one

Thing we desire and desired for so long.

So as souls and eyes start conforming and searching

And hands and tongues evict the cardigan and cursing,

You quickly cotton on…

Arron, There's pointed attitude in this one my friend, and that's what makes each and every line explode. ginga

I'm almost speechless at the passion , the fire of both the tempers and the hint at lovemaking being the end result . WOW WOW WOW !!

Ha, it's a bit naughty isn't it?? You're exactly right Selena, I wanted to capture the similarity between angry passion and lust. This is autobiographical about an argument that soon ignited stale passions....but I won't bore you with the details!! Thanks so much :)

You've brought to the surface a memory that was long forgotten where a terrible fight had broken out between my then partner and I . One that escalated to things being thrown about progressing to an angry kiss meant to stifle my mouth, shut me up but which ended in one of the most tender passionate moments in our relationship.

VERY INTERESTING USE OF VISUAL CREATING IMPACT WORDS....SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FIGHT TO GET THE PASSION FLOWING......LEADING TO AN ENCOUNTER THAT CHANGES THE DINAMICS IN A RELATIONSHIP.....OR AS WE SAY IN THE U.S.A........FLIPS THE SCRIPT. EXCELLENT

Exactly so. This one is about that bitter fight that somehow seems to turn to something rather different, possibly because the relationship had previously been lacking such passion of late. Consequently, the female of the story fighting the urge to give in to desire becomes a thrill for the male, who quickly forgets the fight and pursues his partner's caving in. With the final line left lingering whist hinting she may be getting the idea, we are led to think she may have caved in after all..

Arron - I am really impressed by this poem - so descriptive in such a creative way. I loved it from start to finish - especially the last part!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Imagery is something that seems to fuel my poetry and this one was no exception. Thank you for your kind feedback though, it really means a lot.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
