Dedicated, with your kind permission, to all the Lovers and Strangers all over the world. For love is love. And strangers are people we have yet to meet.

Love and Light,            Penelope Price

Lovers and Other Strangers

I can’t breathe without Love

I can’t eat without Love

I can’t sleep without Love

I can’t live without Love

I can’t breathe WITH Love

I can’t eat WITH Love

I can’t sleep WITH Love

I can’t live WITH Love

And remember

Strangers Are People

We Have Yet To

Meet

A Beautiful Torture

How things start off

Ever so innocently

And end up ever so passionately

A beautiful torture

A glance

A look

A stare

A glimmer of hope

Knowing it’s going nowhere

Do we care?

A beautiful torture

Do we dare?

Like turns to Lust

Lust turns to Love, forbidden

Forbidden love turns into

A torture

But a beautiful one

One that no one wants undone

A love requited

Not conquered but divided

There is no mistaking

There is no escaping

Wanting what you can’t have

Not having what you want

Tearing you apart

From the inside out

Leaving you no doubt

That this is what it is

Not all about

But break away?

No, never.

The Beautiful Torture

You want it for ever and ever

The Wanting

The Yearning

The Pleasure

The Pain

It overflows

A Beautiful Torture

And so it goes

Because He Said So

How was she to know

He’d turn out to be her favorite Lover?

Because He said so

Take a walk on the wild side he’d always say

Tempting her to obey

Eager to always please

She was more than just a tease

It was a dance so very refined

Amidst touches

And ballets

Cat and mouse

A game of chess

It was her turn to undress

Submitting to take your panties off

Leave them on the floor

Citing all’s fair in love and war

Because he said so

Take my hand and put it there

Where?

Here

Why?

Because He said so

Sparring with words, looks

And innuendo

With the promise of surrender

Breathing heavily

But quietly

Culminating in Crescendo

Intensely

Loudly

Too loud

Not loud enough

Too rough

Not rough enough

50 shades of gray

Seemed a paler shade of gray now

Somehow

How was he to know

She’d turn out to be his

Favorite Lover?

Because *SHE* said so

Cry Me a River

Cry me a river

She didn’t need fortune or fame

She was all too familiar with that game

And in the end

It would always be the same

Just a different name

She likened herself to an onion

Where layer after layer

She exposed yet another layer

She was the Chameleon extraordinaire

Her motto was tell me who and what you want me to be

And I’ll be who and what you want me to be

Often selling her soul to The Devil for free

With only one guarantee

That her name, Cherie would be in lights on the Marquee

For all to see

But did he care?

No

Night after night

He just wanted her in her underwear

So he could expose her under there

It was never a matter of Truth or Dare

Oh how she wished she was back in warm sunny Bel Air

At the Corner Bakery Cafe

Having an eclair

Watching all the beautiful people

With all of their Savoir Faire

But she sabotaged herself again and again

Not without great disdain

As it turned out to always be in vain

With very little substance and refrain

Much like the people who walked the cold wintery streets of Manhattan

She was a glutton for punishment

Amidst trying to hide her pain

Ruminating Bill Wither’s lyrics

Oh you just keep on using me

Until you use me up

As the
