Another F***ing Poem

 

you love me
until you don't
for instance
when your ego grows
big and hard
(as you think it is)
you start begging me
please baby, please
'cause it needs massaging
with my green eyes
slow and gentle
as a persian kitten
grasping everything you are
but never wanted to be
except when fucking me
in your daydreams
but more often than not
you just need a warm body
broken and alone as you
clutching an empty bottle
of cheap merlot
to drown unsworn promises
swallowed and forgotten
in hazy words
masquerading as real
when they slip past
wandering tongues
still tasting
a single lost pretense
that
you love me

I really like this. I love the way you sustain the double meaning throughout. allowing both to signify and develop. It's wonderfully sensual and suggestive and vibrant despite its qualifiying admonition...BRgds.,Alan.

Thanks Alan.....this was a revision of an older poem......I was trying a different voice within the poem.......Kat

Kat, I love the voice you're using in this. It has a raw trickiness that makes me feel like I'm on a roller coaster. Slick and well written...C

I give it a thumbs up, I reckon you could probably bonesaw some of the cliches if you wanted to and still keep a good piece mind ;p

here's a twist on Neruda's "I love you and I do not love you" (sonnet XLIV)... I like your edge, the lovely bite and rawness you have here.

I agree with ziggy about the cliches, still it's brilliant the way it is. "when your ego grows/ big and hard" .. love it!

I just wanted to add that I like what you have done here. The double meaning playing through out.  I like the first two lines and then how you ended the poem using line one. 
Kat - on May 7 2008
thanks everyone......cliches ......who, me?.......actually, I was writing one big cliche......from the title to the last line......pulp fiction, and all that ......Kat

nothing to add as valuable feedback except to say I love it's edge, very appealing to me.

This is sad and true and beautiful.




Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
