life's coarser intercourse
oft leads us in directions best
left untraveled
roads fraught with peril
to heart and soul
stealing tomorrow
from the jaws of today
truth lies in the soft
sighs of passion, the warmth
of a word and skin shared
without remorse we leave
only the shell of past pretenses
and the faint hope that our
hours will bleed no more

No false pretenses about this!

This poem plunges to the core of the soul. If I had to choose one line from this poem it would be...uhhh...uhmmm... no, it would be impossible for Me to choose just one line Alessia. Each word married with the next and agreeing with another commentator, no punctuation would have enhanced this piece one bit. It is pure perfection! <smile>
