Changeable

Sometimes memories stay anew like pure quartz while other times are like crumbling sand

Less is More

You fill your fantasy

with me with a whip

in that discreet outfit

ready to pleasure you

Marks of excitement

are visible

all over your body

waiting to receive

No pain inflicted

No scream of delight

I stay on the screen

You soak in sweat and seed

From Lovers to Passersby

They used to think

they would be forever

written into each other’s poetry

They used to say

they would express

happiness, sadness, fear, anger

in stanzas

But life took them

by surprise

In the end

they expressed disgust

towards each other

in prose

Life in Repetition

Living Poetry prompt – Repetition

Everyday living
on repeat
like a copy machine
steady pace
never race

Don’t ask me
about happiness
pleasure
or joy
They are luxury thoughts
too radical
for me

Patience Returns Void

The tea is lukewarm

You may still come

I know

I will persevere

till it’s gone cold

Role Reverse

I knew
we ended
from the hug
we had
at the same cafe
our smiles met
and our legs
flirted

I realised
what we had
was pure lust
and transactions

I touched up
my lipstick
and went out
to hunt again

But this time
he’ll be the one
that’s taking care of
the bills

My Eyes Behold You

He is goofy
and into Motown music
He got an old soul
like the oud wood
trailing behind long after
he left the room

I often
stand in a distance
look at him
through a stained glass
church window

At best
I manage to make out his silhouette
But
I see him
through and through

Pragmatic

Sexy lingerie
is the kindling
disintegrating into
the furnace of passion

To buy
or not to buy

Co-existence

The pain of breaking in new shoes
before they fit like gloves

The exhilarating new love we feel
Make love till it hurts

Rain and blue sky
both beautiful

Pain and pleasure
blurry is the line

Between Them

He still sends her presents
helps her to pay bills
cares about her from a distance

She keeps those gifts
pays her bills with his money
thinks about him sometimes

Giving is a blessing
Receiving validates his existence
