SECOND CHANCE

My soul craves it.
My mind needs it.
My body begs for it.

Like a kite sailing loose in the sky,
so is the lost state of my heart.
My emotion is laced with a heavy sigh
with tears of loss greeting me every night.

Oh how my soul craves you!
In moments when my mood turns blue.
Memories of our passions tickles my thoughts,
painting images so sensually hot.

Missing you has become a norm,
one so vivid it affirms my loneliness.
Days, weeks, and years have passed,
yet I find myself trapped in the dome of your loveliness.
Even at day, I smell you in the air,
At night you plague my dream,
and I can still tell the softness of your hair,
so smooth and nice like a Princess's cream.

Oh my beloved!
Pain has opened my eyes to my folly.
The agony of a throbbing heart so broken and lonely,
has thrown light upon my mistakes.
Like a bad taste, my betrayal of you was alarming.
I was a fool who ate his own cake.
Yes, you were as good as truth.
An angel with a pretty face,
so charming with youth.
Yours was a love adorned with grace,
one I failed to adore and gather,
for I was blinded with lust for another.

Oh if I could turn back the hand of time!
I'd elope and make passionate love to you.
Care I not if that be called a crime,
for my love for you has stood the lash of tears and heartache,
I've gone through wicked nights of cold and chills,
yearning and craving you like addiction pills.
I'd cherish your every kiss like it's the last,
fondle you with passion...noting details, as done by a movie cast...
This time our love will last - that's an assurance.
Please gift me a second chance,
for my soul, mind and body begs for it.

I have learnt my lessons.
