Submission for a poetry challenge

I, sometimes, think that your best work is that whose topic you decided yourself, but I liked this, Cav; it was au point, clear, and thoughtful. The tone is soothing, despite the hurt of being ripped apart.

I agree with you drom, I do my best when the topics are all up to me, but I try these contests and challenges just to see what happens.

My submission - this is a very old poem, but it is asking for forgiveness...

To Alex, who I met on the dance floor. I am sorry !

Blaring music,
On the dance floor
Subdued lighting,
showing just silhouettes
People, people,
Everywhere

I catch yr eye,
And u catch mine
Signals pass,
Expectations rise
We move closer together
Dancing a prelude,
To making love

Hands follow where
the eyes were lingering,
Sparks fly,
No, its not static,
But chemistry
Lips meet
Saliva is exchanged
Before names

We keep dancing,
Kissing, talking
Oblivious to the music
Or the people
Around us.
You want me,
And I want you
Now, here

Desire seeps out,
From every pore,
Mingling
With our sweat.
The smell of passion
overpowers,
the fragrance
of our perfumes

And then
I call you,
by his name

That was a very good zeity poem, Gautam; really lively. Do you know of the magazine to which Cav is sending his?!

Certainly, you may as well exercise your poetry rather than letting it lie unnoticed; the problem is that, in many of the contests, the judges are people will limited ideas of what good poetry is. In fact, many consider not what is good poetry, but which poetry pleases them.

Nopes !! You mean for publishing ? Cmon, it is not that good - I dont stand a chance !

Nah, it's not for publishing, just a poetry site challenge.
