My Dear Poet Aug 2021
If you only take and never give
you may as well be a thief
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
Oh no
It’s 1:02
we’re still in bed
and the mornings bled
into the afternoon

It’s a
lazy day
but I’m glad to stay
here in bed
with you
Just got up
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
There are those who fight for love
with weapons as weak as wood
these are they who avoid the fire
and would hide if they could
there’s lovers, whose shields are hung
and are dented with dints
defeated by a waging war
that they had no faith in

The war for love is never won
though dressed in iron, steal or tin
when you have no hope in love
neither should you win
The strong have given it their life
in armour as soft as cloth
with a heart that gave all it had
they fought hard and never lost
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
I picked a grape, from a cluster at a deli
you know…to sneak a taste before I buy
A lady scorned, “yuck, ain’t that dusty?”,
and ******* her face like I was going to die

“Hey, what’s up?”I said “I gave it a rub
and I’m not going to buy unless I try,
a lick with my lips, is as good as a scrub”,
and I gave her a wink of my eye

But she wasn’t impressed by my address
and was weirded out by what I meant
She quickly called the police for my arrest
and accused me of sensual harassment

When the police arrived at the crime
I quickly swallowed the pips
For a pinch of a grape, I’m paying no fine
no matter what she claims I did with my lips
Everything is so misunderstood, even though no one is really innocent
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
My dreams recognise me no more
and therefore,
I no longer sleep in a strangers bed
instead,
beneath a foreign faceless moon
I now lay my head

I visit the nameless night by noon
and soon,
by a lake where none know my name
flames,
at candlelit dinners lined to an unfamiliar tune
Shadows dance insane
on walls of my mind and moon

Like black cloth cloaks hidden eyes beneath a hood,
I brood
fire that flickers contours of your face,
grace
the distant chants beyond the unseen hills
It wills, another world, in another time,
and another place
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
If I were to say I love you
and unless, you love me three

I, myself and me

Please, don’t say you love me two
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
I get it
We get it
We’re good
