careful what you wish for..

I FELL IN LOVE with stiff and livid
sitting at a bar half-baked
an empty glass full well of VIVID
cravings for the nicely shaped
one that STOOD BESIDE the stool
who propped me up.. I leaned on edge
of knee and night, the GOLDEN RULE
that all, when drunk, will promise, pledge
“will give you only HUNDRED YEARS
if take me home, if make me stay
convince this heart that disappears
and make me BREAKFAST Christmas day...”
-
when in a week or maybe ten
might find myself in NEED of NEW
a secret park, its hidden men
BEHIND SOME BUSHES.. lovely view
of future with another torso
diff’rent pecs to SNUGGLE NEAR
if PARTS is PARTS when looking moreso
soul and finding rounded rear
“for THIS is what I’ve waited for
my half a life of hoping love
would find me sated, can adore
a ONE LIKE HIM... was dreaming of..”
-
when then a married man I met
in sauna SWEATING, arms well-framed
mid bicep curls and nibbles wet
forever saw my MORROWS tamed
by him as husband, settled, STUFFED
in need of only brimful dining
food and future naked, buffed
and POLISHED PAIR of perfect pining
“never held you’d come along
my PRINCE who thought to make me wait
a peerless, pure, if married... WRONG
to want a piece of falling late..”
-
for every case and COUNTLESS reasons
proof is finding flaws beneath
the flawless feeling.. somehow SEASONS
change the way we dress our wreath
with bulbs too bright if ribbons red
FESTOONED with garland, gilded snow
will hardly feel the JOY WHEN FED
if cannot savour flavour slow
“I WISH upon a winter star
allow the wisemen find me drifting
round the heavens... saved afar
from CRAVING NEW to selfless gifting..”
