Love Poem No9

Love Poem #9

This lavender sky
should smell of its colour,
or lilac,
or rose,
not of this rotten fish
stale beer and human piss.

This drawing dusk
should smell of spice,
nutmeg and clove,
and fill me,
sated;
not this emptiness,

longing for the scent of you.

I exaggerate.

You are within me, your
self
exuding from my pores.
I taste you on my skin,
as I dream
of just your tender kiss.

James Swartz July 17, 2017 at 3:51 PM I have read many of your poems (not all yet). You are so unique and gifted at writing about things most poets wound struggle at. You do amaze me with your ease of using real animals and real situations that you point fun at now. Please keep writing and I will keep reading.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 4, 2017 at 1:49 PM Meh, flip side of a flipping coin. Parity ;) Granted such fickle traits in a woman lend her to be compared to a man.
