Discounted Poetry

Some lovers prove Too much to carry. Muscles of my arms are tearing. You're unique, But so am I. A devil streak, A leaked divinity has spiked my blood Unlike the flow in mortal men. - 9/28/26

  I understand. The cage was biting  In your arms quite hard. You’re free. You want to play. I’m sorry, Searching love on Pleasure Boulevard. I’m out of luck Unless I want the younger ones. Please toss the stone. I’ll live alone Quite fine. Do not pretend I’m playing, Biding time. You’re far behind. - 9/26/26

I'll stand beneath your window, Totally oblivious inside the freezing rain, And sing my love in careful stanzas, Poetry unworthy your bewitching Hypnotizing eyes, Your private language of enchantment Clear but cryptic, Seldom understood And never completely. Do you really want to ride away with me? - 9/18/26

I liked it on the other side, The slyest smiles, Slightly smudged remarks, The bold abiding touches, Nudges pressing skin to skin. Now I twist and spin myself acrobatically To steal attention. I've become automatically embarrassing, A braggart bore who's unaware Too much is far too much. - 9/17/26

You bend all light Into your eyes A gravity that flaunts all other mass. I dig my heels And feel my body sliding Despite my fight. Your touch is teasing, Taunting, Thermal jet erupting rarely, Unpredictably. Your laugh Is liquid, Wickedly surrounding me And drowning me completely. Suck me under, In. - 9/15/26

You're not hungry But you think you'll take a bite. You sneak a bite, Another,  Then it steals a bite of you. Toxic chocolate. It always tastes Less great than you remember, But you really won't stop. You will never learn. - 9/14/26
