I
try to
hate you so
the memory of you won’t
haunt me
I
imagine
your touch like
daggers on nerve endings
not to miss it so much
and
your scent…
a stink of a highly threatened
skunk to keep you from my vicinity
in
my eyes
I create your image
hideous
not to gaze when I see you
it
won’t
be long before
all signs of you are muted
and even then…
I'll. still. miss. you.

Poetiq1der says: Peace and God's Blessings to you and yours...Hmm, very deep and also very humorous.... "Your scent...the stink of a highly threatened skunk to keep you away from my vicinity". This line is priceless... |

Cjsmom says: I know the feeling too well...How can you love someone so much and hate them at the same time? Doing whatever you can to not think of them, with no avail. I loved this poem. It was a refreshing way to tell a sad tale. Kudos! |

Corey says: Hi Poetiq1der, I've never thought of that line as funny before your mention. You made me think of the cartoon character Pepe` Let Pew. :) Thanks for the read and response! |

Woven says: Sometimes we tend to cling to the good, you're right, we need to force ourselves to see the whole truth for our own good. Great write, I overstand this. |

Awaken Souls...It was extremely attractive blind faith at first sight the way his knowledge flirted with my mind, sharing images of kings and queens who once ruled ancient fertile lands
I understood completely the language in his eyes that spoke of longing for me, to me his stare absorbed the vision of my melanin skin down to the lovely beauty he sought within me gave new meaning to loving the skin I'm in
With his touch came a current through me akin to the river Nile I felt the anointing of our ancestors
Our hearts' beat like African drums as our bodies sacredly bond to the sound of symbolic tribal songs
We became awaken souls committed to each other, |
She and Her Love PoetShe felt the rythum of his verse
Every sensuous syllable against her canvas soothed her inhibition
Eagerness to experience the way wordplay on his lips she could never resist his kisses
Uniquely he chanted over generous curves explored deep in valleys where her inspired warm stream creatively engaged his
He reveled in peaked mountains and laid claim to exotic lands fertile with her desire to be written into the history of his love poems

In His Eyes, I Saw MeLove stood before me, Tall and confident. Untarnished, by superficial tendencies birth into society.
Magnificent, in his ability to remain true. Love stood before me, Admiring flaws Of Unique beauty
Without a single word, or Touch
Love stood before me. Reflecting deep desire, that pooled in his eyes ...and I have never seen a more beautiful, reflection of me

Bodies...Even though, she could see "for the meantime" lurking in his eyes And her heart recognized his words, "I love you" as a lie
She swallowed them like candy coated truth
Because...
It meant more to her to have anybody's body by her's than to be without somebody
His 'goodbye' was unspoken, but written all-over-her-body
He had cum and gone
And... once again Somebody, had her body And she had nobody
...but her own
