DESIRE
Desire by Maria Fokas Desire must make no sense in the whispers of my lovers Press your cheek against mine Let me take pleasure in your thoughts Share with me your secrets The ones you’ve never dared to before While we mingle with your friends Let me stir the ice in your drink, with my fingertips In the melody of music, stroke the back of my neck And when we sway on the dance floor Feel my aching need, for your control In the depths of darkness… I find comfort in knowing, you can spin my heart with your desire.

Dreams
Dreams By Maria Fokas A heavy choice to make After all this time of planning Don’t ask me to explain Something about the pain I’ll feel in the way you’ll say goodbye All this talk of no regrets, I could be wrong this time Maybe I do not need the things I want – my promises and my devotion But for every choice I make, I gain and lose in every gasp A heavy choice to leave it all behind I crash against these dreams I want In the lonely hours of the night I need to let it all go … Continue reading Dreams
An Empty Page
An Empty Page by Maria Fokas There are many tragedies in life, and I am lucky not to have experienced many of them yet.

Innocence Dazed
Innocence Dazed by Maria Fokas The woman knows she is seducing It is even a sin in most religions To tempt such youth With powers of soft scented skin The boys are excited … Their faces glowing Naïve and pristine As not yet touched By a woman with such skill To kiss and spell Unaware of the dangers Not having once tasted… Sweet to the tongue Bitter to the longing The need to be satisfied By a ghost in their heads They merely plunge in thought Sexuality intoxicating to the touch The idea of throbbing is not yet painful For … Continue reading Innocence Dazed
