One Night Stand Poem by Uche Nwanze

Night of passion, my Nightmare.
I lust for her flesh like a voracious beast on a prowl.
Buried in my thoughts, if I could devour her sumptuous body.
Scavengers will hover round carcass, until his thirst be satisfied.
If I could ravage her honeypot, thoughts running topsy turvy.
I wanted it like a junkie dying for a fix.
A chalice of sweet poison, I drank in gulps.
Inebriate with riotous velocity of desire.
Imprisoned by a cacophony of emotions.
I am burning up, the sweetness of her thighs, a venomous antidote.
One night of pleasure, the measure of sadness. was it worth it?
One night stand, fantasy turned Odyssey. Was it worth it?
One night of Sweetness, lifetime of beautiful pains. Was it worth it?
Lost in fantasy island, on a wild goose chase for ecstasy.
Endless battle with my beast, my loins on fire.
I thought this feelings may die, if this dragon is unleashed.
Fell under the sword of her seduction.
Imprisoned under the tentacles of her guile.
All I ever wanted, to have a bite at the cherry. Was it worth it?
All I ever dreamed, to have a taste of the pudding. Was it worth it?
Forever will I live with the guilt, it haunts me like a shadow.
I wish I could go back to tomorrow, tomorrow never coming back.
If I could regurgitate Eves apple.
One night of ecstasy, was it worth it?
