Loved Him Up
i mean...
she loved him up
something awful
rare poignant flower
stagnate above seaweed
leveled bottom feeders
he scooped her quick
cupping her in his hands
once able now crippled
investing in her salve
rubbing and stretching them
loving him up something fierce
he closed his eyes feeling
hypnotized invaded
by the tampering scent of her
over come seized by her petals
fixed steady from the stem
nor wilting to bruises
took full advantage of
seeds protruding middle
with ability to heal
bringing to his knees the
sturdiest man with it’s therapy
he murmured of tedium
once raiment sleeves
turned sand stained yellow film
grew dingy and grim
luster wasn’t plain no more
straightening his collar he
stepped saying she got nothing
more
she got no potion left
her spirit concealed
exhilarated jubilation as
wide as a canyon she wasn’t wronged
after loving him up strong
she still loved that man up strong
