I am still hungry,
yet no longer know
what will satisfy.
I am not a gambler
craving
the game’s sweet rush.
I do not yearn
for another conquest.
I am not so obvious
Or so easily fulfilled
.
I am still hungry
yet no longer feel
that familiar longing.
I am not an addict
needing
an habitual fix.
I do not ache
for physical release.
I am not that predictable.
Or that lightly entertained.
.

That kind of hunger is indefinable….and I think we only know what it is after we have found what slates it.

I’m starving like Isabelle.
Hunger is ongoing…even if you eat a huge meal today, that doesn’t mean you will not wake up ravenous tomorrow. That’s the problem with hunger.
Bisous,
Dawn
PS: I’m on day four of a crap diet. I really am starving!

The hunger always returns.
Ah, dieting. I am fortunate with my shape. I’m sure for you dieting is also superfluous .

The challenge is working out what it is that you need to ease your hunger at this point. It may not be apparent right away, but you will find it. You will. You must. The alternative is unbearable.

Lovely writing R.D. You know what they say, “if you don’t use it, you loose it!” Following you for quite some time now, I love your stories and reading all these comments, it’s obvious you still have the art of attraction down pat…I’m sure the fading is only temporary. As soon as a brown eyed submissive with long silky dark hair, legs that don’t quit, nice rack and a slender waist flaunts herself at you… you’ll be doing the chicken dance again. We hens love our rooster! M.
