This is a 4 poem series, love is strange. Don't you think?

Love, Why?

Since the beginning of time, one thing is understood.
No one knows why love acts so strange.
We wouldn’t understand even if we could.
Affairs of the heart have no answer.

Often love is stolen, lost, or regained.
The real question is only why.
And how to keep love retained.
Affairs of the heart have no answer.

When love is stolen, we want to know why.
Is it something we did?
We look up with our eyes to the sky.
Then we ask for God’s help too.

Sometimes after love is lost,
We can’t decide what to do.
Nothing like that is worth the cost.
Permanent decisions are made too soon.

Then sometimes love is gladly regained.
Our life goes happily on.
We know good luck has been retained.
And we live happily ever after.

 

Love Stolen

His eyes meet hers, and they both know the way.
Both will feel the flame by the end of the day.
No rules apply for in this affair passion leads.
The interest is the fulfillment of their needs.

Both of them know the pain they may cause,
And at their soul guilt sits and gnaws.
Caution is forgotten; the plan is made.
Satisfy the urges before they can fade.

They pass in the hall. A touch is stolen.
As he leaves, he knows his is swollen.
She looks back, a glance to tell all.
They decide to meet at the hotel by the mall.

Both call home and lie to their spouse.
When they hang up, they feel like such a louse.
We’ll tell them one day, both have agreed.
Till then don’t wait. Satisfy the need.

He arrives first to pay for the room.
The back of his mind senses impending doom.
But he jumps up at the knock on the door.
She walks in looking like a lovely cheap whore.

His kiss starts at her ruby red lips.
And continues down to a place on her hips.
Her hands hold his as she groans with pleasure.
Then she kisses his neck in a way he treasures.

No clothes are left, just two sexed up people.
She looks at the church and climbs on the steeple.
Both know how they  have breached a trust.
Their only excuse is the consuming lust.

Before it’s done, there is a loud knock.
Neither hears, both continue to rock.
Then comes the sound of a key in their door.
They don’t stop, they can’t hear anymore.

In walks two people and it’s over in a flash.
No one was deceived that their actions were brash.
Words are not needed, in court they are spoken.
Both have sinned and they are soon broken.

Now alone, both have too much to regret.
Their whole life of lust was lost on that bet.
They lost their self worth in that room by the mall.
And they weren’t prepared to loose it all.

 

Love Lost

 His eyes pop open to a savage alarm clock.
His brain slowly realizes where he is.
Too soon he sits up in a state of shock.
Has another day without her begun?

He was in love. He never saw her faults.
Then she left him for another love.
Into his wounds she has poured her salt.
What did he do to deserve this?

She was his love. He saw rainbows in her eyes.
But he won't be seeing rainbows again.
His mind is filled with whys.
How could she not love him anymore?

The house is empty where they used to play.
The silence is lonely. His son is gone.
Nothing he did could convince her to stay.
Is there nothing left for him now?

His new love is very special, and so kind.
He wants to love her so much.
But he can't because she haunts his mind.
How can he still love her like that?

She wants to marry, her name is Gail.
He wants her too, but his love won't come.
He loves only her, so his love for Gail fails.
Why can't he love her like she loves him?

He has loved and lost his very life.
Nothing is left for him to enjoy.
Love isn't always forever, that cuts like a knife.
My God, what can he do now?

When you give your all and get thrown away.
Life ends forever, no way to go on.
If he can't keep her, if she can't stay,
Why is he living at all?

The decision is made. He can't face another day,
Of life without her and his child.
He has decided there is another way.
Can there be any other for him?

Goodbye my love, please don't blame yourself.
He’s sure she gave them her all.
She took my love, my life, and my self.
How could she take it all?

Once he was in love and Gods angels sang.
He hopes he’ll be hearing them again.
He picks up the gun. He won't hear it go BANG!
God, can you forgive him for what he has done?

 

Love Regained

He isn’t her first. She was married before.
To a man she had left all alone.
She was a good wife, though she acted a whore.
To this day she asks herself why.

She is his first, an unspoiled man.
Falling in love again was far from her mind.
She asked him to marry; few thought he would.
Her story was so well known.

All eyes watched them start a new life.
Most thought she would leave again.
For 3 years she was the perfect wife.
Everyone started to believe.

Then one day she told him her plight.
Her love was gone like before.
She would simply fade into the night.
He stood crying, unable to speak.

He kept his courage and he understood.
If her mind she might change.
He would take her back if only she would.
She shared the tears of his grief.

Soon she knew her heart had changed.
She felt her love return.
Their world was not over, only rearranged.
Now they want to be alone.

He takes her hand, gives a soft kiss,
Then whispers "I'm glad you came back".
She feels the love she surely would miss.
Oh, how wrong she had been!

In a moment they held in a tight embrace.
A way only lovers can.
Removing their clothes it looked like a race.
To see themselves naked again.

Though many years had passed since her birth.
It was only perfection he saw.
He held her tight, for all he was worth.
Their electricity lit the room.

His hands hold her breasts.
His lips on her neck.
He rubs slowly against her nest.
Passion's fire burns below.

Gently he lays her upon the bed.
Kissing down to her waist.
The flame now turns their world all red.
No one has ever loved her this way.

His lips touch hers waiting down lower,
There is no better feeling found.
With a tongue so good, it goes much slower,
Her wet love flowing strong.

She returns his fire with a touch and a kiss.
In places he can not ignore.
All her life she's wanted a moment like this.
She holds his swollen need.

On her back with legs spread wide,
She accepts his advancing thrust.
Her face has pleasure she can not hide.
He dips deeper still.

One on one they go on forever,
Love and passion fill the room.
Moving like a lust machine.
Body and soul are now one.

In the moment when pleasure peaks,
The smell of sweat and sex all around.
Climax so good the mind becomes weak,
Love's wetness now shared.

All spent, they lay side by side.
Too tired and weak to move.
They have love they can not hide.
They are perfect for each other.

He rests by her side with love in his heart.
Her mind races on and on.
If he knew, he would rise with a start.
She listens to her body's song.

All she wants is to be his wife.
But he has given her much more.
Her body yells out, you have a new life.
She cries knowing it is his.
