PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

acres of soft supple powdered skin

silently

beg just so

to be held ever firmly

well within

arms of the warmest most resilient

encompassing steel

even once discarded

still passion lingers

to hear even the faintest foot falls

of commitment's arrival

but

there are to be

no sweet messages for me tonight

in your guarded eyes

so very bravely

I try not to cry

as you so very insistently walk me

to my 'Abandoned' door

which by the way feels just like me

it is only later

when in an unforseeable haze of

suspended emotion's rage

that my slung high heel

wiped that infuriated smirk

off my vanity mirror's crumpled face

I growled out my explicit self hate

than and only then

to the well worn rug

at my ripped pantyhose clad feet

it was then that I crawled to the kitchen

to slowly feed myself another mournful

yet needed dose of shaky self esteem

with the generous help of a pint of triple

chocolate fudge cake

I'll laugh this off tomorrow..............
