Notes About The Poem

Love

Love went to the liquor store
She bought a bottle
Drank until the bottle was dry
Walked on over to the hardware store
Where there she bought a hunting knife


Love sliced open my chest
Her hands grasped my heart
She had a hearty meal
Dropping her knife
She walked away in the dark

Love stole my heart

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 2/20/2015 5:23:00 AM What a horrendous story! Difficult to imagine so much cruelty harbored in the heart of a normal woman! Great poem though, profound and dynamic, Certainly a seven dear Arthur! Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 2/22/2015 9:39:00 PM And here I thought this was all women!!! ( kidding ) :)

Brian Baumgarn Date: 2/20/2015 1:28:00 AM Arthur, just read love, and it really touched me, as I am in recovery from alcohol for 30 years. The poem reached me at, perhaps, a different level than what you intended. I drank enough years to have a lot of my heart cut away, but have 30 years sober now. A great gathering of words. Thanks, Brian Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 2/22/2015 9:37:00 PM Well thank you Brian, and yes you are closer to the mark than you think, I wrote this to have more than one meaning!!! I am pleased it worked!
