susan

he* came to me
   i didn't seek him out
he
   flirted
   teased
   baited
   and propositioned
he tried to
   persuade
   charm
   tempt
and ******
                 me

i was *intrigued

enough to
   flirt and
   tease
but not enough to
   to be caught
and i definitely was not
   persuaded, charmed nor seduced

but i was
   tempted
scarily so...

...so i propositioned
he collect all that energy
   used in charming me
and invest it towards
making it work
          with you.

you're welcome.

having been betrayed in the past, i am not too keen on the 'you're welcome' at the end of this, but i think it fits with the demeanor of this poem.

Her

You told me you wanted me.
But you already had her.
You told me you needed me.
But it was obvious you needed her more.
You told me you wished I was there with you more than anything.
But she was already there.
You told me I meant the world to you.
But she was your whole world.
You told me you were in love with my eyes.
But you were lost in hers.
You told me you wanted to kiss me.
But her saliva was already on your tongue.
You told me you loved me.
But you were in love with her.

HER TIME

HER TIME

High in my sky
She shines divine
I smile knowing
This day is mine

Her ray of hope
Devoured the night
Releasing me from
The perpetual fight

Blessed are my shadows
They're clearly a sign
Out of the wilderness
A new piece of mind

In the coldest of days
In the darkest of nights
A simple display
A new breath on life

looking at this old photograph
a picture of smiles for you and me
i think about how you made me laugh
now, there's no smiles to see

images in my mind are different
almost like a clearer view
this photo is lacking pigment
since there is no me and you

heartfelt words

i can wash away the hospital smell
i can wash away the tape marks on veins
i can wash away the dead blood cells
i just can't wash away the pain

I Love My Wife

When I got home this morning
My wife was tearing hair from her head
I said what's the problem darling
She said the ****** toasters dead
She said I've tried everything to
Get that thing to cook
I said just take it easy
I'll go and take a look
Tool bag in hand I entered
That electrically haunted space
I surveyed the situation
The answer was clear to see
I unplugged the multi cooker
AND PLUGGED THE TOASTER IN

Yep fellers this really did take place this morning

habits.

a wildfire

habits.

I no longer remember
the number of freckles on your shoulders
the shape and place of every mole.
I no longer remember
your lips in longing
or *** twice in one day.
I no longer remember
my soul
bound by nothing
lying awake alone
eyes closed tightly on an
ice cold January morning.
