Smiley

[Delta40]

I am your smiley
as you cool in my cul-de-sac
laid flat on a crosstitch blanket
my grandmother made.
My yellowness will blush red
as I slip off the oversized shoes
I wear in my mind.
You can flog a dead horse
till your teeth come loose.
My smiley will waggle a finger
at the side of my head
as I hope you boil inwardly
when old love parades topless
past dried up creek beds.
Wiggle like a banana for me
underneath broken bridges
where you have carved up hearts
with spoons and tender kisses.
I will bang my head against a tree
as I watch you sleep naked,
helpless.
Autumn leaves weave your shroud
in our fenced off forest.
I wave a flag and play no pity
when you are roused
by the alluring heat song of another
while I stand at the perimeter
and toe-tap in time.

I recognised some of the smileys there, the yellow going red, the dancing banana, but felt beneath, something less smiley.
One of your best Delta

There are some wonderful expressions in this, Delta. I particularly liked:

"Wiggle like a banana for me
underneath broken bridges
where you have carved up hearts
with spoons and tender kisses."

There is such humour in your frustated angst - lol.

Live and be well, H

I loved the way this flirted between the naive silliness of the smileys, and the raunchy double entendres!

[Delta40]

Thanks Prince. It was nice of you to see that.

Who would thing some silly litle cartoon faces could inspire such an erotically charged piece - a brilliant twist on their use and abuse. I will never look at one the same way ever again.

lol. There is a mingle of the two. I don't know why I wrote this way
