View Full Version : Some things are best left unsaid, thoughts are trickier

We awoke beneath, the mothers hug of the duvet,
my hand brushing your soft thigh
and your golden hair lounging on your pillow.
I knew I should keep my big fat mouth shut.
' We have no reason to be'
My mouth rarely listened to logic.
You blinked and your eyes crinkled
in a way that has always, always,
made me into nothing but a little boy.

' I have no reason to be, you have no reason to be.
Our love is the result of biology.
We make love, its not so special
its continuation of species.
Our marriage was the result of religious ideas.
Our love is no more or less genetic
than a peacock's display.
Love hearts, diamond anniversaries, love itself,
all but an illusion.
But unlike the rabbit from the hat,
we never believe we have been tricked.
We are as special as the bull humping the cow'.

You said ' shut the hell up'
You threw your nakedness onto me.
As you sat down upon me, your eyes crinkled,
your mouth opened and you threw your head back.
Once more we connected.
As though we were meant to be one.
But somewhere, still, in my mind,
I was just a humping bull.

(In order to keep in with current thinking....)

Dear Mr Baldy,

I have to confess I find this piece inordinately offensive. Today, I passed a road-sign, saying Humped Pelican Crossing - it is not within our purview to pry in to the lives of pelicans, or indeed, any other sea-bird, regardless of whether they are attempting to reach the other side of the road or not. Hanging is too good! Yours sincerely

Mrs Stoatwarbler
I apologise sincerely to yourself and other pelican twitchers concerned over their roadcrossing pilght.
haunted- agreed the last stanza holds up the babbling above it :)
Bw
Jerry

I accept your apology. Do you want to buy me a drink, now? Mrs M Stoatwarbler.
