Poetry Challenge... Using Encroach...Platitude...Fodder.
When I was very young very happy
Totally cool about being unsure
Totally unbreakably brave
You came into my life.
And I didn't see you.
All the while we danced with friends
You crouched down on the floor
Hungry hooded eyes surveying prey...
I encroached unaware
upon your grey guarded
lust with my innocence on display
In a little red dress.
Crimson Fodder bleeding for your gunsight
So delectably
Within range.
And you could've done everything
I was yours without a touch
And you couldn't do anything
My innocence came in between
Us.
Time after time...
Provocative seductive hesitant lost
In my dreaming love life
Staying up pondering over your calls.
No one else could ever embrace my soul
And wrap it around his little finger.
We utter platitudes how broken hearts
Heal with time.
Hearts don't know how to break
They stretch and stretch swollen with
Love stolen out
Of memories
In the night air
The songs...
The words...
The dancing that was
More beautiful than any
Lovemaking
The love that won out in the end
So long Hunter
You earned my love
Not as a notch upon Orion's studded belt.
I'm still starry eyed
Because you let me leave
So innocent.
