IF I HAD KNOWN: LOVE'S MEMORIES

(Short Sad Love Poems by Injete Chesoni)

If I had known that one day you would be gone,

I would have savored every moment spent in your arms.

I would have treasured every second of time spent with you,

To remind me that once upon a time our love was true.

I would have frozen every moment when your eyes met mine,

I would have captured every caress, in the hourglass of time.

I would have stocked up on memories for that future day,

When you would be gone to shores far away.

But while we were together I was deceived,

That love was forever and not a passing breeze.

Devil in A Red Dress
(A Poem on Seduction by Injete Chesoni)
~~~~~~~
Her hair entices you.
Her hips seduce you.
Her backside confuses you.
Her sway draws you.
~~~
When you walk with her you walk in fields of fire.
When you lay with her the flames lick your body.
When you join with her you are left a pile of ash.

On The Eve of Change
(A Marriage Poem and Life Change Poem by Injete Chesoni)
~~~~~~~
I sit here knowing, I am a step away
from changing my life forever.
I ask myself am I ready,
to leave all that I have known behind,
and forge into the future.
I ask am I ready,
to throw all caution to the wind,
and entwine my life so closely with that of another.
I begin to hesitate
and on the eve of change,
I want to hold time still for a moment.
I cannot go back,
but I am so afraid to go forward.
Yet, I know that time will not wait for me.
And on the eve of change I realize
I must move forward with time,
or time will leave me behind.
