Just Home and Love! the words are small

Four letters unto each;

And yet you will not find in all

The wide and gracious range of speech

Two more so tenderly complete

-Robert William Service

Dear Darling

Alright babycakes, it's time for me to come clean

I couldn't ever handle being your last resort;

I can't stand it when you call too late,

after yet another cancelled date.

I hate it when you let me down

and then don't apo-lo-gize, just frown.

I'm not someone you can take for granted, sweets

without feeling it come back atcha tenfold.

My world doesn't work this way darling

stop fucking up my groove,

please and thanks.

Make no mistake - in this scenario,

you are the asshole. Comprendes, compadre?

I have left you in the dust

and will only come back to spit on

you-r crocodile tears

or laugh at your stumbles

A sight more than you ever gave me-

my mirth will be genuine.

I'm holding you in contempt of court,

time is the only thing that'll regain my trust,

but I doubt you'll find the will

or the lust.

So piss-off, jack-off

and face up to facts.

I don't dig this fakeness

- I never needed your pity or your guilt,

Fact is, it only makes me want to puke,

all over your fucking face.

-Amitaya Libern

Zebras

And my only exception

was you

To all of the careful lines;

I've drawn circles and

prisons of patterns and

mazes

around me, since forever,

again and again

The only exception there's ever been,

you joined me in my circle and helped me draw,

not traps,

but line drawings,

not mazes,

but murals,

not prisons, but poetry.

For just a little while, you set me free.
