Paul Bell Poet Free verse

Marie

My Marie, wasted so much time watching
Sat behind your image, I always wondered
Type me another picture, so I can look inside your head
Reach the final thread

When all the words are said and done
And times we have no longer fun
Please remember how it all begun
Cause no one won, no one won

My Marie, did you really think I’d change
Become your love, rearrange my life to suit your soul
Could we really be such fools
Expect to change the rules forever

When all the words are said and done
And times we have no longer fun
Please remember how it all begun
Cause no one won, no one won

My Marie, another picture in another place
Dirty talk, dirty sleaze
Lousy love that didn’t please
High class b****h , f*****g tease

When all the words are said and done
And times we have no longer fun
Please remember how it all begun
Cause no one won, no one won

My Marie, dressed to thrill, stocking tops where guys would kill
Pink champagne upon your breasts
Trickling down your shaven nest
Sighs to screams, frenzied pace
Champagne and love, the sultry taste

When all the words are said and done
And times we have no longer fun
Please remember how it all begun
Cause no one won, no one won

My Marie, we fight goodbye
Mocking insults, tears to cry
Words like daggers deep inside
Daggers deep inside
Goodbye, Marie, our time has come
The pictures running dry
Sat behind your image, I always wondered why

One day I was feeling all alone
Felt so really down
Remembered a pair of lacy pants
And put them to my brow
Champagne and scent came flooding back, and time began to clear
For a fleeting moment I had you
And then you weren't there.

Paul Bell March 31, 2024 at 2:19 AM I think some couples are better apart, and those two are that couple.

A fave it is for me felt this Paul Bell March 24, 2024 at 9:45 AM Love sure can be painful at times. Times on his side.

Charlotte Puddifoot March 22, 2024 at 2:18 PM i like the way you've written this, the rhyme and use of repetition giving the poem a sing-song quality, almost like an incantation.. Paul Bell March 23, 2024 at 7:05 AM If only I could sing. You doing ok, been awhile.

Silent One March 22, 2024 at 12:51 PM A lot of emotions in this one Paul.. some very raw ones... Paul Bell March 23, 2024 at 7:07 AM Yes, he's a guy with a lot of regrets.

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 22, 2024 at 10:54 AM Hello Paul, This is a great piece of exploration of love, loss, and disillusionment. The raw emotion evokes a sense of longing, regret, and the complexities of human relationships. It's the fleeting nature of love and the pain that comes with its absence. I love how your words capture the essence of heartbreak and the bittersweet memories that linger long after love has faded. - Blessings, Daniel Paul Bell March 23, 2024 at 7:10 AM Thanks, Daniel. Man's implosive nature, bringing the inevitable outcome in this write. We never learn.
