Sleepless Valentine

Sleepless Valentine I took the pinkie blue cuddlesome bear And by its blood scarlet bow Noose tied hung it Too soft With its felted heart And false cute sentiment And with eyes burning hot I tore it down Fluffy bear Thrown to the ground Where The petal shard-ed reds of rose Lay dashed On broken stems Thrashed to the corner The puffy pleading little arms And big round mollusc eyes And cutie pie smile So in bare feet I could trample flowers In a Disney valentine Till I lay on my bed Groaning, shudders and weeping And all the words I wrote Of love Couldn’t stop the pleading Of my heart Not to feel these empty arms Riled against my pillow I did And scratched and tore At cold cotton sheets While images of you Lay my souls ever itch in my head While my blood screamed With dead Rosetta Rosaceae And this nights sleepless toss and turn Has not begun Has not lifted an eye lid And stolen my dreams No The long dawn has not even begun To bleed its way through solitary hours And find me capitulated In the teddy bear whispers Of the night still ahead I must steal myself instead And continue to hanker after the witches red Of ringlet hair And bend my will To sullen acceptance No Not together No Not yet
