Curated Blog

Writing on Writing 16 - Ssssshh…… Sex and love in poetry... WOW!

Olya says that everything is about sex.  I don’t agree but that is hardly the point since there is enough truth in Olya’s perspective that it justifies opening this blog with the statement.  (In the background Olya is talking: “You know you agree.

TITHE

Style / Type:

We were
on shoulder
thickness walking
the crushed stone voice
in husk dust steps

the leather straps across
my shoulders
cutting in from all
we dared to hold

sharp and painful
pleasuring with each
jarring step
the sharp edges of the
cans digging into my
vertebrate

water sloshing

Always

Style / Type:

Leaving you is hard
I will forever be scarred
We are now split up
And I still cut
It hurts me inside
To know that you will confide
In someone who is not me
Who will never be what I tried to be
I will still always be here for you
And I will always stay true
You will always be a part of me
that only you will see

the shattered fragments of my heart
will gather on the ground
and like the gently falling snow
they’ll dance the whole way down

the darkest crimson shade
whilest you tilt your head back laughing
at the mess that you had made,
and youll back away in rythymn

Katrina, Katrina, you kicked me when I was down
crushed in my house and I almost down
sitting on a neighbor’s roof top
praying the water would soon stop

but when I got there she was no where to be
again I almost drown, my neighbor pulled me back on his roof

Poison

Style / Type:

I would Finish any flagon

I would drain most any draught

If its contents made it easier
 
but sadly they do not

I would mix up any tonic

I would drink up any brew

I would take all pills or potions

So that I may be cured of you

You are poison deep inside me
