[hometext] => This is a long piece of vomit I've grown kind of fond of, wrote it out fast in a 15 minute spree, needs g-corrections, tell me what you think
[bodytext] => I was broke down on the side of the road I had an engine running sour and a mighty-heavy load I watched as the sun above me began to wither and corrode And the trees seemed to fall with it I ached, as my thumb grew bitterly sore Not knowing why I held it up anymore No car was ever going to open up that door Or at least that’s how it seemed Then she came driving in a two-seated car The exotic woman I’d met at the bar I’d wondered how she’d gotten so far In this hot New England weather Her high beams shot out through the night They brightened my eyes and brought in the light She was wearing sunglasses and it didn’t seem right You know it wasn’t the time for that And we’d got hitched because she picked me up It might seem kind of reckless but it wasn’t corrupt We drank from the same kind of exoteric cup But I never thought that my conscience should be trusting Collecting my idea, That sad old fact that she was ever lusting Billy told me Grandpa never gave him a chance On numbering his reasons or stating his stance That the old tool had never given him a glance I guess it’s common for old tools to do so And he broke the handle on my get-away car As we winced to make out the northern star He’d promised the cabin was a ways but not too far As we’d passed the cities boarder But I could see it in his eyes this was all about her How she’d questioned him in what he promised sure And how I’d gotten suckered into the heist was an all around blur I couldn’t make out whom to blame there He screamed about how she brought out the worst in his actions She’d mimicked his grandfather in all her reactions And that planning this gig was just set of distractions Well you can imagine, I’d rather heard the truth So he confessed he hated love while we rolled into a ditch And cursed her with his last breaths and his bodies last twitch I made it out wise, wish I’d have made it out rich But I grabbed the jewels as he coughed curses out mustering His greatest fear, That sad old fact that she was ever lusting You leave her with the house while you take a weekend cruise Not figuring out the fortunes you’re on your way to loose Not picking up or addressing any of her clues As you come home to meet the pool cleaner And the man in his Calvin Klein designer suit Wonders why the cleaner’s at his forbidden fruit He’s got that pistol from the closet but he doesn’t know where to shoot At the wife, at the man, at the temple That entire world seems to wind around his head Of the promises entrusted in a ring and the words they’d both said Who’d known a weekend in Bermuda could have found a better path lead Then a broken home with a shattered man and some cracking old lies So simply falling down at the legs of his trophy wife He looks at his palace and at his misconstrued life So caught up in the drama he doesn’t see the knife That the pool man keeps in his pocket for just such a situation And staggering around the home he knocks the pool table in two The balls topple to the floor as he crunches right through And blood stains the green material just purchased and new At an auction house on the account of it, the table will be dusting Due to that sad old fact that she was ever lusting So we drive along and I leave my car behind a memory Looking into the night I previously couldn’t see Watching a couple of guys in a one-door van hit a tree Thinking no one needs to be in that kind of rush And I see one get out and he waves us to stop As he’s clogged on the head by a nightstick from a cop I could make him out to his last stagger and drop I know police brutality when I see it I fumble through the things evading my mistress’s eyes Find a newspaper and begin to read into current lies “Wife and Cleaner arrested, wealthy playboy dies” Sad story, must have been a hoax Just then I stare at her and she’s looking back at me I wonder if it’s into my eyes cause pass her shades I can’t see But I best remain a ghost to her, because I’d rather be free I know even if she doesn’t, love has a way of rusting And in my brief time here I’ve learned, That sad old fact that she was ever lusting [comments] => 4 [counter] => 152 [topic] => 43 [informant] => franciswolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
