Company of Shadows - poetry by Frank Steenson

BRUSSELS - May 16, 2015 - PRLog -- Frank Steenson, poet. A man who has seen much suffering and pain around him and yet remains that positive person with that positive attitude who tries to the last moment to help others. That's why my God has kept me going, says Frank, diagnosed several times with cancer and yet insisting to live his life at its full – jogging, writing, helping people with drinking problems, basically wish to be remembered as a decent bloke. Frank is a realist, Frank does not moan about the facts of life, Frank considers himself blessed with friends, family and a God that does not think it's my time yet. Frank Steenson, poet. Decent human being.

Sweet temptation

It has been said at times
That I suffer from an ungrateful heart
Accused of the renunciations of love
Yet it is not I who am bound in chains of desire
It is almost impossible to acquire perfect freedom of spirit
When the flesh is filled with corrupted thoughts of another
We must continually correct ourselves daily
For we all suffer the inclinations of the flesh
Especially when exposed to the attraction of another
Who is most times spoken for?

Tonight

There is both sorrow and joy
In knowing that without your love
I am nothing
Only in you do I feel my heart at peace
This brings such interior comfort
I long for your touch
Your skin gliding on mine
In the warmest chamber we named our own
You are of course my sensual soul
True love the tie that binds
Tonight my dearest I am willing
Come to me
At the hour of your pleasing
So joint caresses can glorify our love...
