multipltied and weighed against
the feelings of emptiness
reaches new heights of absurdity
dancing just out of your reach
careful not to get caught
blurry eyes and beer breath
I know I can make my escape
so I keep dancing across the floor
hair swirling across my eyes
what is this blindness
that gives me pleasure
in knowing my affect on you
giving, is within my power
withholding is my choice
you stagger home alone

I read this a couple of times and I have to say that I was there, I saw it! Almost like a tease, what you can't have and the power to do just that. Love the way you write Merry.

Lol. Tease. Nice write though. I actually enjoyed it though I think it to be mean. Ah well.

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. ©
