If I only had the words
That flowed like all the best
I’d tie you in a knot
of my grandiloquence!

A wolf in the jungle
Leaving my pack far behind,
I was howling for you.

I don't have
great inspiration,
very often,
to write
but when I do,
the site stops working.

If only I'd known from the beginning
   things would take an ugly turn.
   While my well intentioned gift of love
   played out too soon and burned.
   You could have worked out nicely since
   my mother would never approve.
   I destroyed all your pictures, got new
   bedding. All traces I will remove.
   Tomorrow I'll find your replacement
   and try once again to make it last
   forever after. I keep trying to make
   a Madonna from ash. Same old past.
