Bodies intertwined
one mind
love underlined
caress refined

Different when you care
trust always there
no one-time affair
a lifetime share

Giving of a soul
need to be whole
loss of self control
relishing my role

brazen in my wishes
feelings just delicious
neither suspicious
enjoying our richness

Brazen in her attitude

ignorant and downright rude

burning bridges as she goes

stepping on people’s toes

Bravery or naivety

she should try flattery
Susan O'Reilly May 2013
Reality an unwelcome intruder

bills, what could be ruder

want to stay in a place of illusion

facts cause too much confusion

don’t tell me the truth, tell me what I want to hear

of flattery and guise I have no fear

I live in a world of my creation

can say, I’ll never move, with no hesitation
Susan O'Reilly May 2013
Firing words from pen

shooting from the hip

safely hidden in my den

no risk of punch in lip

Writing is a release

stops many a row

irons out many a crease

to it’s power I bow

Freedom in anonymity

let emotions speak

no accountability

coming out, not for the weak

Ah, often the salesman doth smile too much
usually means what he’s selling doesn’t work
He’s got the knack though the midas touch
he can sell ice to the eskimo, ****
He has got the patter down, off the cuff
On unsuspecting spenders he does lurk
To praise and extol his dubious stuff
If you purchase, commission, that’s his perk
My heart falls to my toes, he makes it lurch
Flattery can work on my emotions, park
Other day couldn’t get rid, sold a torch
To dodge him be up earlier than lark
Next time I see him I’m running away
Especially when its precious pay day

Fragile things
heart strings
easily pulled and
tightened
often scared and
frightened
old hurts can make
them close
how long to open
nobody knows
beware if its yours
that’s been pulled
into a false sense of
security
you can be lulled
Fragile things
heart strings

Love starts with a glance

taking a chance

develops holding hands

ends with wedding bands
