Image for the poem don

don't speak her name

 

she admitted to being a rude temptress
she prowled her petulant jungles
nude as a sensuous cat,
enamored in the eyes of obdurate soldiers.
arrogant.  unattainable.

what chance does a lonely man have?

I was drunk on elixirs of lust & criminal desire
easily waylaid by beauty, perfumes,
eyelashes that flickered like candlelight.

recklessly driven, I rush without radar
toward the roadblocks of my own destruction.

but poetry and love
were meant to destroy
