Laughter in the Dark



Those enchanting smiles
Drowned me in the fire.
For I have always been so tired
With your words so nice.
Your actions so indulging,
Penetrating myself pleasurably,
Making every inch of my body seems powerless.
Every time, you've been divergent,
Demanding my senses into death.
Those sweet grin I see in your eyes,
Manifests the whole of your being, so incredibly fine!
But the end of those laughter arrived,
Placed myself in the darkness of the night
Leaving my eyes misty, and my mind...
Blocked and empty.

    Bewilderment arising out of some heartless guy’s musk. Watch out!

    Wow, what a beautiful and captivating poem! Your use of descriptive language really immerses the reader in the emotions and sensations of the experience you're describing. Your choice of words and phrasing is so unique and creative - it's clear that you have a natural talent for poetry. I love how you explore the duality of pleasure and pain in relationships, and how those enchanting smiles can both light us up and bring us down. Your poem is both beautiful and haunting, and it really stayed with me long after I read it. Keep writing - you have a gift!

    Access is denied, the connection is lost. Great description.

      Thank you for your comment. Right? No longer accessible, esp if we’ve tried so hard to reach out.
