Notes About The Poem

the down-side of romance
-----------------------------------

Orphic Spells

Ex lovebirds of 
the tamest passion can turn 
so predatory.

Passive aggressive
schoolboys who mock whistle at
ex-girlfriends for spite.

Who scatter book bag
contents in mock accidents
for supposed revenge.

As witchcraft conjured
by the nonbelligerent
to silence the bully

I summon some sweet, 
musical, lascivious
words as orphic spells

In self-effacing 
defense to tame the awful
beast with dirty magic.

You are quite right in that you have a lifetime in front of you to pick and choose - wisely! Aloha!

John Gondolf Date: 8/29/2020 7:25:00 AM Ah, the games people play; it is so amusing to step back and watch them act out. But don't ever give up on romance, the right one will come along sooner or later.
