Lust for Love

Stories hidden in her swaying hair, Face like a rose, charming and fair; But deep eyes yelled out her despair Staring blank at a walking pair, She's lost. She's lost, pensively lost in love, Wishing for someone who thereof  Never did question her whereof, Someone to hold her like a dove, Tender. Tender-like, for no one ever Was gentle, calm, easy on her. She was paid, laid down with pressure As a last resort for pleasure, Her job! Her job, no way for escapade But she longed for a welcome shade, Someone who read her words unsaid To walk along the esplanade, Downtown. Down her breath, she lives in this hope Her present, she denies to cope For someday she will elope With her love and dance on the top Of world.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
