Reinvention

I've been through this
time and time again
but I'm open for discussion

Appearing before me
was my very own image
A recusance to all
who centered around

And as if to say the least
the image began to smile
For he now knew
that he was ready to
redeem himself.

You May Not Like What You Find

Alright!
Should I tell you now
or should I tell you later?

No no!
You're not ready to hear this!
Put the notebook down, stand up
and fix yourself another drink.

Relax. It's probably better this way

After all, just two days ago
you pried into this notebook
and came across something you
never should have read!

You were persistent,
you were curious
as you always are

and to make matters worse,
in between hits of shisha
and sips of vodka
you confronted me
of this matter

Trust me.
This wasn't the way I intended
to express my love for you

but you pried and pried
until you got your chance
to manipulate the situation
to your advantage

You are hideous
yet beautiful
at the same time!

That voluptuous body
that sways your hips
and breasts
side to side as you walk.

That cute smile
that poises upon
your face when you laugh.

I can't live with you
yet I cannot live
with out you!

If you're still reading this
by now, you should really
be putting this down.

You may not like what you find.

Our Calm Euporia

And there she was...
Like a vulture staring down,
with eyes that glimmer
brighter than the stars
in the night sky.

She was ready to attack!

We made our fast-exit
and quickly sat alone
juxtaposed
by the poolside.

Yeah we talked politics
and we talked on current events
but her voice
her voice began to crack

We were drunk.
And in our calm euphoria
We were in love.

What if though,
this girl
is not supposed to be
the woman of my dreams?

What if she was only an illusion;
an artifact that presents itself
so firm while people watch
then crumbles when faced
with solidity?

The conversation shifted
and she began to escalate herself
onto my chair
pushing her body
closer and closer
and closer

In that moment
she started to cry
and without any regard
she kissed me.

We held hands
then made our way
back to her apartment.
It was dark. Cold.
Quiet from what I remember.

I staggered into the restroom
to take a piss, only to notice
that she had followed me in
taunting, hissing-

hissing like the snake in the garden
persuading me to bite the fruit!

Her coy tongue enraptured me
and I no longer had control
of my naked body .
