Sharp Hearted Love – Fiction

Sharp Hearted Love

I was watching our parakeet, Milo, seemingly regurgitating into the mouth of his Venus.

“I don’t know what else you want or expect of me,” you said. There was a painful question in your expression.

We were experiencing a fallow period, bickering.

I was mesmerized by the courtship of Milo and Venus. “Just get it out your system, why don’t you? Once and for all.” I was almost whispering. I was screaming inside.

“Get what out?”

“That you wish I still believed in ‘free love’ and didn’t give a damned about you screwing her.” Hiss

I heard you inhale sharply.

That Married Man – A Poem

That Married Man

The painful part
isn’t that I loved you.
I loved all
the loving you me parts thinking
you were loving me parts.
The painful part
is not loving you
now wanting to hate you
parts of loving you.

If You Insist – A Poem

If You Insist

I’ll take that softly toasted
dressed
to go.
I’ll cry
into my Cuervo
and that will be that.
No one will know
and only two old lovers
will care.

You Are My Sunshine…

You said I wrote to fit my day.  That’s probably right.  There aren’t many days I start crying and bawling and saying I  suddenly don’t feel that  I have any control over my life while standing in line, at Starbucks, waiting for a double espresso.  Hahaha!  Lucky you!  I’m so sorry that I began your day on such a terrible and public note.  And to prove it to you, I showed you this video of my favorite song.  And I do want to say…this version captures the true soul felt meaning of this song…at least to me.  Thank Gawd you liked it too!
