Come to me.

[Jerrybaldy]

Come to me with dampened eyes
and a hint that you've been crying,
with a need for protection,
and a feminine admiration
of my f u c k off manliness.
Wear a flowery dress
an underskirt, lipgloss
a feathery fringe, a smile
a kiss me quick hat,
a mona lisa smile,
and a nakedness
just for me.
Whisper in my ear
that no other will do.
I will love you back in time.
My manly hands and liver spots
will be between your legs
relieving you as I wipe
you dry and clean.
I will pull down your panties
to wipe the crap from your crack.
When it's all done
we will walk back to the tv room
and you will look so fine
in wrinkled tights and smock.
When I leave you
and the decrepit home behind,
I will go to the bar where
old sailors drink rum
and sucking on smoke,
soothed with a liquid burn,
I will know I loved you back.

You are unbelievable Jerry...

I loved this but unless I missed the essential emotional drive behind it, I couldn't make sense of


"to wipe the crap from your crack"

That seemed so out of line with the rest of it? But, you know me, I'm a very, very, very chaste guy!


Not.

you bad boy Jerry...shoot, sounds so ****tily familiar...

[Jerrybaldy]

Thanks all.

The poem starts at the beginning of a relationship then jumps forward maybe 50 years from the line ' I will love you back in time' and from there on is in a nursing home where the narrator is helping his wife in the toilet. (that may help make sense of it Prince). I did of course mislead readers into thinking of this as something else ;)

Think you may have picked up on the truth haunted, judging by your comment :)

cheers
Jerry

I thought you might already have liver spots so I was mislead too. Now that poem would go just right in my play....

[hillwalker]

Late but not too late I hope. Unlike Prince I got the progression from young, lusty love to senility (and an enduring love nevertheless).

A frank and very poignant piece.

Thanks Hill, I had a bet with myself that you would get it and I have just payed myself :)

Some of the imagery here really reminds of some lyrics from The Last Poets. I don't know if you guys have heard any of their stuff but they're kind of the antecedent to what we know consider rap. It's just very raw and a bit anxious with a rhythmic but spontaneous drive to it.

No Jerry you gave me too much credit. I totally missed the transition. Now that I read it again in the new light I am just taken by how moving it is.
