Behind Closed Doors
The Lust Between Them
Sparks were flying
Hormones were raging
Stolen glances
Seductive smiles
Flirting tongues
Sensual touches
Beasts awoke hungrily
Wanted their appetites pleased
And itches scratched
Golden opportunity
Behind closed doors
Brains stopped working
Morals forgotten
Clothes on the floor
Rhythmic movements
Lustful moans
Climax reached
Hopped in the shower
No amount of soap
Can wash away the sins
Three things can't stay hidden
The sun, the moon, the truth
When the doors get opened
Consequences
Wrecked marriages
Devastated emotions
Childhoods destroyed
Traumas created
Adults enjoyed the thrill
Children are left to deal
~~~~~
I had a dream three days back where my friend was telling me that she has been cheating on her husband with her cousin's husband and my ex-colleague.
That's when I realised that there's a lot of nasty things that happens behind closed doors. This made me remember my childhood trauma.
The adults in my life who were meant to protect me were doing nasty things with each other and with other people. I was just a kid. It took a huge toll on me and I'm still very traumatised by it.
My humble request, please don't ever cheat. If you think you're easily seduced when your partner isn't giving you the attention you need, then please don't get into a relationship or get married.

You can really pack an emotional punch- and some surprising twists- in a few words.
Emotionally intense, yet beautiful.
Very well written with a great message.
beautifully done. cheating is a horrible thing that I'm lucky to never have experienced, but I know it hurts a lot more than just the two involved, and you really captured that
Loved the message behind this. Also, loved the play on words and literary devices used. Nice.
Really well written and the emotions I can feel it come off the screen
Powerful.
This was some good writing! Thanks for sharing this poem, I enjoyed reading every bit of it, and I loved the personal touch at the end.
Very powerful writing. Great work!
By restricting the syllables and word count in each line you managed to convey the furtiveness and guilty thrill that is infidelity. Well done.
Loved the twist at the end. Great work!
Lust is human nature. But, there must always be self-control. Nice poem.
Good one infact so true
I love the power you have at describing the hidden darksides! Keep writing, keep shining!
Wow, this one was really good! So descriptive. And it really took a turn there, but so well told.
Beautiful and tragic poem. Hope you’re doing okay
Wow! So powerful, I loved this.
Great work. Describes well the animalistic nature of humanity and a triumphant return for you.
It's something people forget when they begin affairs, there is collateral damage.
Lust with a moral twist right here!
Favorite lines: "Three things can't stay hidden/The sun, the moon, the truth". Hidden being the only word with two syllables in an otherwise monosyllabic turn of phrase creates a perfect hinge, reinforces the idea of doors opening, of revealing.
I liked this very much!

Welcome.
You use such powerful imagery and metaphor to convey the complex and multi-faceted impact of infidelity on the lives of all those involved. Well done!
