I Need Someone To Break My Heart Again

I need another doe-eyed Doña Lola, a tungsten-hearted torturer of men. I crave a further fling at love’s tombola, to beard the lioness inside her den. Of course, it always runs into the buffers: their sex is unremitting, unforgiving: but he is truly fortunate who suffers: to be in love again – that’s really living! She must have bags of charm, and must deploy it. I want to give my heart, have her destroy it, or better still, to gouge it from my chest, for when my love is spurned, I’m at my best. I get to pout and pose, and blue-eyed-boy it: and if the truth be told, I quite enjoy it!

Dear Michael, the imagery in your poem is quite evocative and emotive. I especially enjoyed “I want to give my heart, have her destroy it,/ or better still, to gouge it from my chest” - potent verse! Congratulations for your success in Kai’s contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
