PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

fiery bitter barnacles

like some mutilated style of erotic dress

form unwanted in my mind

to drop me in a mystified loop

of gradual second guess

a none too pretty pettiness

I am thwarted for my incredible patience

so very watchful is the eye that steers clear

of any approaching danger

self preservation though often quite necessary

can still be such a clever bitch

sometimes

so spare me the bleeding hearts speech in the

tapestry of hard core recovery

besides

I don't think I could quite stomach the dripping

encore of all your whiny regrets anyway

Martin & Lewis I believe already played that

gig once

and it bombed

so work on another psycho stick routine to

peddle

because this tired, jaded audience is out of

here

and I'm not paying anymore to see your act........
