Best Playing Hard To Get Poems

.           True love 

I love the way you make me love you
Love the way you step my heart on the ground.
When you walk into the room
I love the way you do not even look at...

JOYOUSLY, WE BE

Pillows, pillows, rainbow pillows everywhere
amidst this sea of pillows, two in lounging share--
capering aplenty, teasing, teasing thee.
Fun-filled laughter bubbles up, joyously, we be.

Fluffy, fluffy cotton knobs, wrap next to 'bods
Tuck so right in a hug, keep tight in the warmth.
Playing hard to get...

perfect single grape
clings tentatively to vine
waits for gentle hands

perfect single grape
clings tentatively to vine
playing hard to get

perfect single grape
clings tentatively to vine
sadly never reached

You wouldn’t look me in the eyes
Because you were afraid of me, reducing to lies
Betrayal begins to bleed out of your scars…you were the color of Mars 
You bit the bullet and you are shining bright like the midnight stars
Enraged, you told me to leave...

For the people who don’t understand, let me make things clear.
He twisted her arm and made her scream.
Heartbreak was inevitable at this moment. Her mind was numb.
And time had come.
With no warning signs or a place to hide,
She danced along the rim of his teeth,...

She said: "you're such a sweet, sweet liar"
But I could never lie to you
These words I say are born from desire
My every sentiment is nothing but true

And every time I seem to start a fire (in your eyes) 
It loses to the ice of your...

. . .
I don’t feel like doing anything. . .
And yet here I am, writing again. . .
Punctured thoughts gushing redness of frustration and disgust,
Black rivers flowing and intoxicating the remaining blemished white of reality,
Stuck in this brain, 
Wracking desperately for order and purpose,
I want...

She worked down at the car hop 
Serving trays to those who paid 
I just wanted to be that pillow 
Where her pretty face laid 
She looked like a diva 
Her body was super fine 
And lardy how I dreamed 
That one day she’d be...

Is it true,
that you said you love me.

Huh I've asked a question.

Is it true,
that you want to be with me.

Oh please talk to me.

Is it true,
that I put a smile in your face.

Don't be silenced by Aphiwe.

Is it true,
that me and you will be together.

Look...

Still traveling through space
It's not falling into place
Tripped over my shoelace
Wound up with a bruised face
I'm starting to lose faith
People staying missing or found in a suitcase
Now we got another new case
Across more than a few states
Has there been enough progress in attempts to reduce...

I have never really felt anything serious for you
I have never really imagined that you would ever kiss me
I have never really imagined that you would ever tell me that you like me even worse that you love me
I have never really thought that you...

She did not yield to his advances
 Playing hard to get, taking chances
 He sent her a bouquet of red roses
 As his quest for love he poses

 Love becomes a game of pursuit
 In an attempt to capture her heart
 Like a tango in...

I rolled like Caesar down the boulevard the day I came to town.
My triumph was impromptu and abrupt.
I parked my Chevy by the curbside on a gentle downhill slope
In hope there’d be no need for backing up.

From near the Devil’s Crossroads where I’d tempted fate
To...
