I was busy finally updating my new website yesterday, and found this poem I wrote. I'm not planning on updating it or anything, but would love your feedback on it:

AND SO IT BEGINS…

Hearts on fire passions engulf them
Caressing the skin and kissing the lips
Passionately holding on to each other
Lying there under the satin covers

Lavender fills the room rose petals strewn across
The bed as they lay and make love this night
Too soon it is over and they must leave each other

He goes to his clothing thrown upon the floor

The cell phone is ringing
She knows about the call

He dresses with haste as she lays there to weep
He holds her hand and touches her cheek

I will come home
I promise you this

He gets into a car
Nothing unusual

She lies under the covers and picks up the phone
He answers his cell and she begs him come home

But he has no choice
To work he must go

He reaches his destination
As he opens the door

The commander in chief is waiting at the door
They walk inside and they look on the screen

The day has arrived and this they agree
As the cameras and lights begin their flashing and whirring

They stand there and announce
War has begun

If you'd like to view my website, the link is: http://daniswritingsontheweb.yolasite.com it's currently under major construction, but is coming along nicely. I'll be adding the "B" poems today.
 
It is often difficult for one to comment on a piece of poetry that really engulfs the senses, that exhibits near immaculate flow and alludes strongly to personal experiences. So, in that respect i am comment-less:] Really nice poem.

cheers
