One night stand by Adejola Joseph
One night stand
Your breast is like the firmness of a ripened apple
Beautiful to the core
You are a diamond
One night stand.
Give me one night stand
I can't wait
Hoping for a brace
One night stand I ask
Because you are all I need in a woman
One night stand.
Menacing lover from a myth;
He pushes my boundary line,
I’m claimed every December fifth;
Sticks shout leaving behind a mark;
Take the beating and do not bark,
full mouth there’s nothing to discuss;
I nurse what was done in the dark;
Just a one night stand with Krampus.
i was at a party when
a guy groped my thigh
but i just brushed it off,
cuz atleast he laid an eye.
Who cares about consent,
when you're as ugly as me
we just take what we get
cuz noone loves me.
He took me to his room,
we were there for a little.
He told me that I'm pretty,
and i was fulfilled.
The compliments only lasted
however, until he came
He came and he left
literally
Snatched away my recently acquired self worth
instantly
So now I'm still fat and im ugly,
and without any love.
All I really am is
just a one night stand.
One night at my hotel bar,
I saw a vision dressed in white.
As soon as our eyes would meet,
We suffered lust at first sight.
Without any introductions,
We just headed for the door.
Once we made it to my room,
Our clothes dropped right to the floor.
The chemistry was electric,
As we climbed up sultry towers.
We pushed it to the limit,
Then went on for three more hours.
Our hearts pounding in our chest,
And our bodies feeling weak.
We let forth a final scream,
As we reached that final peak.
With tears dripping from her eyes,
And moisture dripping from my head.
We shared one more sloppy kiss,
Then we climbed right out of bed.
After putting on our clothes,
Without words and no delays.
We released a heavy sigh,
And we went out separate ways.
No phone numbers were exchanged,
We didn't ask each other's name.
The story of this one night stand,
We saw, we conquered, we came!
ONE NIGHT STAND?
It seemed so simple at the start,
A one-night stand; no questions asked,
Then back to hum-drum daily life.
Her face, all innocent as she approached
And perched beside me at the bar.
“Would a gentleman buy a lady a drink?”
Lowering my gaze to the too tight tee shirt
And the all too short mini, I wondered
About the ‘lady’ bit
But then of course the ‘gentleman’ bit
Was a generous description.
A dry martini was her choice
(I would have sworn she’d say a G and T)
And so I joined her, even though
I’m normally a whiskey man.
And, as we sipped, the thought occurred to me
We must have seemed to all the world
A sophisticated pair
And afterwards, as you’ll have guessed,
We wound up in my bachelor pad
For a euphemistic cappuccino.
After which my memory is rather hazy,
Till I awoke with sunlight streaming through,
And the space beside me cold and empty.
A note by the kettle said a simple, “Thank you”
I thought that was the end of it, but no,
The nightmare had just begun

Last night a passerby was made satisfied
He ate from my most valued pot
And staggered at the drunkenness of lust
For i offered him the sweetest of all my meals
There is pure bliss in feeding a stranger
Such did i get when my apples i offered
For a man in need did i but rescue
When i spread my wetness to lubricate his tool
And tasted of me did he thereof
To grace his craving with more than enough
I made so light his journey once tough
For a man feels like a man when he makes love
Like a cold night awakened by the heat of passion
I aroused him to a state of sweetened satisfaction
Condemn me not for my careless one night stand
I was but generous in giving my most enticing land
Upon the tablets of kindness should it be engraved
My heroic deed, for that lonesome man i saved
Neither with meat, nor bread nor fresh wine
But with that between a woman's thighs

'Taste, never tell'
Tips from a gamer's threads.
'two shots, tips to the shot
Blondies would miss the plot,
not the barbies with the pinky dreads.
Wine and whine, the rock is never best.
Balcony, not the streaming gents.
Hand in hand, you scoop the bet.'
Barbie, checked
Two shots, beyond the tip, checked
Wine, less of whine, checked.
Balcony, checked
All, enough to claim the standing prize.
Time to time, the tip tarries
Not a glimpse of the kinky barbie
What could be amiss?
Oh! Who forgets the last thread?
'above all, never go ahead'.
One hell of a night, standing.
Empty night,
I’m all alone tonight.
That man gave me a promise,
An empty promise.
He was lonely,
I was lonely,
So he said, “Let us be lonely together.”
Be mine for this night,
Tonight.
He was lonely,
I was lonely,
So he said, “Let us be lonely together.”
Empty promise,
Empty bottles,
Empty night, tonight.
He gave me a promise,
For us to be lonely together.
An empty night,
Filled with a lonely man and woman.
That man gave me a promise,
An empty promise.
He said, “Let us be lonely together.”
Empty promise,
Empty bottles,
Empty night, together.
By daybreak
He is gone,
I am gone,
Feeling empty.
When you first laid hands on her did you think of me ?
Did her lips kiss you the way I did ?
Did she slur your name the way
I would when our bodies perfectly molded together
Did you close your eyes and imagine
My hands on your body as you felt her body heat and her feeling yours
Tell me ,did I ever come to mind?
Did she manage to make your toes curl ?
Did she make you crave for more ?
Tell me love,did she taste like me ?
Was she able to fill that space you know can’t be filled
Was she able to solve that complex puzzle you call your heart
Because we both know only I can manage giving you the pleasure you seek;
Emotionally,physically and mentally
Finding my lost voice,
Beneath a stranger's lips,
Looking for warmth,
Being grinded by a foreign body, Rubbing against me to erotic lyrics,
That make me wanna pin you to the floor,
Oh my,
Your lips are already sewing me to the wall.
What's your name?
Argh,
It's the morning chapter,
You're gone and I've already lost what I was after.

I'm too damaged to be a part of your life plans
I'm not ready to start making wife plans
But I guarantee you a great time if you put your body in my hands
I'll be your favourite one night stand
We can have a great time now, but I can't be kept
I'll kiss and touch you in ways you won't be able to forget
I'll kiss your neck and do things I don't need to talk about
The great night will stay between us, no words will leave our mouths
We can help each other to forget our pain
We can have one long night to see it through
Even though our bodies will burn hotter than a flame
Tomorrow there will be no me and you
You look great in your dress, let me help you take it off
You're wearing your favourite underwear and the lace is soft
We're both ready for a night of passion
That will be something great between us tonight with no one to judge our actions
I'm too damaged to be a part of your life plans
I'm not ready to start making wife plans
But I guarantee you a great time if you put your body in my hands
I'll be your favourite one night stand
Schizophrenic one night stand
By Feo.
Benzos - that’s her thing
Meth - used to it
On her own since she was a little girl
She hears things, she always does
Every twitch is a different drug
And every voice is a different drink
Why are all the crazy ones taken?
It’s always the pretty ones that are crazier than me. But I get it
People with disorders make great lovers
The voices in there head scream louder in bed
We can be paranoid together if you’d let me.
ONE NIGHT STAND
juicy tomatoes
mashed potatoes
firm grilled shrimp – no garlic please –
soft bread aligned in a basket
steamed glasses
frozen margaritas –
unorthodox dinner
plastic cactus
on a bed of pebbles and sand
stares at me from the windowsill –
innate happiness
we smile idiotic –
ignorant unscheduled cascades of laughter
my finger follows the pattern of the checker table cloth
shrinking it
squares become circles –
primitive night of pleased sighs
we mimic a dance for the rain–
the thunder a symphony with a déjà vu print –
the lips move with mute symbols
of a forgotten civilization
the rational thought
pushed in cuddled hibernation
my arms are in breakable cast
and I wear my glasses but I can’t see my dreams
One Night Stand
My head shout it out,
My eyes clouded out,
My thoughts moved to treason,
My hands did not freeze,
I was brought to my knees,
My voice did not follow reason,
I stuck around,
Sitting on a flound,
Before I carried it out,
Parting my soul,
Fulfilling the whole,
Time I'd better get out,
By, Nick Evans
poetry is a one night
stand
a few minutes
stand
you meet her on the
street
while waiting in a
cafe
in a crowded bar you just dont know when
she descends on you spread her wings
no expectations
i am in this crowded bar now
on the stool
red wine
cabernet
why dont we understand life
she walks in high heeled clad
in red parks on the other side delicately
war is a crime
have to be brief here
characters you know
and space F
i am captivated
she flashes her white teeth
the' cheeks"matched her dress
i am intoxicated
singular encounter no expectations
she winks carelessly
i buy her a drink apple martini
walks across sit close
perfume
extramarital without disturbance
bartender worried puzzled
when i ask for paper and pen
he throws few tissues
we drink a few
her leg rests on mine exploring
we amalgamate into a toungey kiss
i am possessed now
in a frenzy you know
no attachments or carried emotions
for tomorrow
we forget forever till someone brings
it up again
personal growth and fulfillment
empowered
poetry is a one night stand
that is a one liner
