when don’t form poetry can drive you deranged

when work they form tales
that can your senses assail

they take you to a different place
and bring out emotions you can’t trace

they can make you smile, cry and laugh
the power in a few paragraphs

they can move you to the depths of your soul
thats the magic of the poets role
He promised me ecstasy
I got sausage and chips
He promised me kisses twee
too short on my lips
He got down on one knee
couldn’t get up with his hips
he promised me he was free
my ear his girl clips
His voise deep and husky

it’s incredibly ****

his tone when he says my name

if he was playing I’d be in the game

a gentle, slow, ****** attack on my aural senses

I think he’s my marital nemesis

teasing and seducing me

albeit unwittingly

I can’t touch him enters my mind

to his looks I’m blind

he’s the new office stationery man

and I’ll take the call whenever I can
Ocean eyes
so deep and blue
I drown in their hue
beautiful and intoxicating
I promise I’m not overrating
Long lashes
silken sashes
but what enthrals
most of all
is the love that I see
When they gaze at me

Sorrow
I know my words don't mean much of anything
They aren't long enough
Or brave enough
To draw
Even just one eye

I know my words
Are a vague redition of
Mediocrity
With high esteem
And hopes of return

Believe me,
don't I know.

Replace your smirk with pity
And change my name

Or just erase it altogether

I know my words mean less than nothing.
To you.

So just turn away
And leave me be
Or hate me still
And fail to see

But do not operate under any illusions that I am unaware.
No one knows better than I do.

All that lies between us now is  distance  and time.

Mountains, of unspoken words, that we futility climb.

This empty space was once filled with all the beautiful things.

It was replaced by a battle field where a lonley echo rings .

You say atleast we have love,  that  the road won't always  be rough.

The more you attempt to fix me, the more I wonder if love is enough.
