^^^ Great one, Pen. :)
double-exposure
big in the tabloids today
infamy thrives here
shameful exposee
tells the world your worst nightmare
but soon dies away
but soon dies away
buried beneath the absent
forgotten footsteps
forgotten footsteps
come back in my mind when I
hear you on the phone
hear you on the phone
after so many long years
just like yesterday
just like yesterday
I hear the parade sound
dreadful memory
dreadful memory
erased gone and forgotten
troubles me no more
troubles me no more
all the crowd and all the cars
when I have yoi
when I have you
oranges don't taste the same
they taste of your lips
they taste of your lips
puckered, ready to devour
all life in one gulp
all life in one gulp
knocked back like a vodka shot
bitter and warming
bitter and warming
love with a twist of lemon
another one please
another one please!
I'm not satisfied with one.
Roomful of books, please!
roomful of books, please
squelch boredom's machinations,
print buds in the air.
Print buds in the air
a poet captures one now
fulfilling passions
