Poem: I write for love now

Tumblr

I replace my old bad habits with new ones

I am girl unchanged

20 year old reeling scheming fool

If only some loud mouth big bucked lover would come and save me

From all this distress

Most impressive

Land of the free are we?

My sovereignty is at stake here

Let her be a fool

All the more better to see her with

Taste her with

That mouth

Red raw lipped

That scandi songstress

How many careers are at stake here

“you look like a porn star”

I AM NOT FAMILIAR TO YOU.

A writer touches one lightly

So gently as if she didn’t touch at all

Leaves you gasping

Wanton leaving for me

Midnight walks to relive her

Mead and her

The other woman.

I write only for love now

I am alone.

I sing only for myself

No more husky bath water whispering.

I churn the barrel.
