Talk To Me

Have a conversation with me

Without  the scent of last night's 

wine in your breath,

Remove your spectacles of prejudice

before we begin to speak,

Let me not have to

mull over every word

Before they escape my lips,

Respond to my words

not to your screwed up thoughts

about me,

Talk to me 

with your pulse rate below eighty

Pluck not words from my mouth

I never meant to release.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
