Incubus

Sadistic kisses froze me.
Though I begged for melting,
He laughed as I shivered
And stripped me bare.
Oh, the cold, I cried.
Immobile and compliant as he staked my heart.
Impaled on an icicle,
My blood froze where it ran
But then, I found a fire.
Now I burn
And he freezes, unaware
That he shivers, lost and bare.
I am sad to hear him cry
For, no succubus am I.

Your Gift (Senryu)

You give me myself.
I smile, I sleep, I write, now
This is who I am.

Am liking senryu's...

Yes, yes, yes (senryu)

Yes, I am coming,
Just as you knew I would, I
cannot resist you.

Distracting Thoughts (haiku)

You are delicious
And I long to distract you
With many delights.

Possible Responses to "I will be in Touch, I Promise"

1. I've said all I have to say. Please never contact either of us again.

2. Don't bother. I don't want you to. All you do is hurt me. I've been hurting for too long and I need to be strong.

3. I miss you but I've had enough.

4. You forgot you were my friend. You forgot you were my friend. You forgot and I told you NEVER TO FORGET.

5. No you won't, I'm closing every possible avenue of contact.

6. Grow a pair, ******.

7. Go **** yourself.

Not a poem, so sorry, but somehow need it to be out there, even though I've actually decided not to respond at all.

Simple Pleasures

A peanut butter bagel
And a really strong coffee, laced with sugar.
Sunlight dapples carpet
Slippers cushion feet.
Cats purr
Children stir
Poems call
And I am simply
Happy.

For Anubis the Philosomancer, who sometimes posts ecstatic and enthusiastic poems about wonderful breakfasts/dinners/beverages, which always make me smile!

Progress Indeed (Haiku)

Eleven poems
That aren't about you, or sad
That makes me happy.

****, I just broke the 11 poem run!
