Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

she looked him up sometimes
his picture
always explained so much more
then shall we say-the average bore
23 years of stories rolling off my tongue- you glance and i see
that what is mostly yours has always been mine'
yet the fines
the reasons you have for not loving me
add up to a larger amount than i can pay
the love i lost
the stray cats
all the things that hide in the corners
waiting
the lover that died
while wanting to plead that would just once say'i need you'

Some great lines here. Particularly liked--- never mind, the whole poem from beginning to end is genuinely reflective ...


~A

Reflective poem; well captured and enjoyed.

the complications of getting involved.....most relationships would work better I think if we each had our own apartment........a place to retreat to, a neutral ground to sort things out.....we could visit each other, sometimes spend the night, work a little harder at communication, work a little harder on our personality, .....just a thought that occurred to me as I was reading this and relating to some of the other poems recently posted here....

yes co habitation is over rated= love is good= but if these elements are misconstrued
i do what i can and live
in a place of deep sea
and minerals
all the sweetness i did want
some i wanted to flaunt
it is over
i am sober
no answers for the questions
just being what i need to be
the history tells itself=thanks

when the dust settled
and the smoke had fled
O Christ !
was all she said

thanx=
