Out of Eden


Please may I be excused for writing terrible poems?
For I'm in  love
Like an enfant terrible I cant let go
Look at this tug of war
I call it love
It's a comic show

A coy dilettante
An opportunistic coyote
A brew of bubbly light insanity
Look  at me how  I  wear  a fools cap
And jingle its bell at you
I'm grabbing  all the attention that I get
Concocting a messy stew

The  thing about  this heart is
Breaking it makes its rules
And always it's own restrictions
Resists  like a hearty mule

Looks like a true  blue love
On a worn out frazzled sleeve
Unhappily ever  after
Live and let leave...
You live and learn
Your dues you pay
Your points to earn
No free lunch no easy grace
Doesn't matter I  won't make my mark
An easy mark 
I  leave  no  trace..
Nothing matters in my 
Sunken garden of evil
I  handpick the forbidden fruit
I share  it...with the devil

It's what you call a love bite
A brutal ejection of  fangs
Bruised apple
Amused poesy
An eternity
Out of Eden
After this infernal
Night.
