An Obsession

She told me love
is a stranger
to be thought of
as a danger
and in her view
that I want you
is just pure lust

Inspired by the Eurythmics “Love is a Stranger”

Only If For

“A night,” she said,
“we won’t forget.
Something instead
of what we’ll get.”
“Why do you say”
he said “today
will not end hot?”

Inspired by the title of the wonderful song Florence + the Machine’s “Only if for a Night” and Little Charmer, though her wonderful “She said he said” poems are much better 😁

Silly Thoughtless

I find it's way
too hard to make
what would be a
brilliant mistake
We all can see
stupid's easy
from what's a glut
