So many posting
about the virus
saying,
why us?

Placebo on the radio?
a song that's far too long
and hard to swallow.

Mud baths might follow
and you can wallow in them
but real men
stand up and fight and
don't panic buy toilet rolls
because that is not right.

I'm alive and kicking
ticking over quite nicely
and the better part of me
the beat in the heart of me
the one known as She,
is doing fabulously.
..and I have that flutter in my breast, She.

The scars of
Who we are

The stories of
All our glory

The songs of
Lives lived long

The beauty
Of our sweet cutie

The telling a
Of all our yelling

Piece it all together
Puzzles with letters

Amazing poems written
We all get bitten
The writing bug is inspired by other poets. Read other people’s work and we learn so much!

No matter how
high we fly,
at some point, it seems,
you and I
must return to the ground.
But weep not,
upon love's reentry
what didn't burn off
in the atmosphere
is ours to keep.

this handsome devil had a way with my heart
he had a personality of a sly serial killer
and it wasn’t surprising when he had my blood on his hands

he told me that he’d give me the stars if i wanted them, the moon, and even the sun.

handsome devil always knew what to say to get me into his bed
he knew how to touch me to make me beg for more
he knew what he was doing when he pulled down my sundress

he called me angel who didn’t deserve to be corrupted by him, but somehow, he went back on his word. i’m now bathing in my sins.
this is about my first experience with an older man who was in the music industry. i loved my handsome devil, but he didn’t love me.
