[bodytext] => Here I lie on the underside of love - in good company: Billy Goat’s Gruff, Dracula and Frakenstein by my side. Monsters we, Condemned to pine at night And hide from love Under the bed and not in it. Together we deploy new strategies And argue over who will be the first to leave Our stately retreat Our hideaway from love. I say: “Dracula, for The best defence is a good offence And he is the best endowed.” But he answers, “I can’t even look at myself in a mirror, You want someone to look into my eyes? (Which are bloodshot In the light of day, I might add). As for me, I’d send out Frakenstein to love. He has a real heart for it.” But the floor trembles as the great monster Rolls over closer to the wall, Further into the dark. He gave his heart once, he said And it was never given back. “Billy’s a wiser choice His fur will keep him warm; his coat will keep him from harm.” “My hoofs”, says Billy, “are not adorned To travel the road of love Upon which two legs are better than four. I’d say, you go out You’ve spent so much time here. Under the bed and not in it. And his comrades at arms agreed. So I am pushed out from under A daughter of the regiment deserted by the army Bravely approaching the battlefield of love A bit of each I bring: Bloodshot eyes, an aching heart And a coat to keep someone warm. A coat to keep someone from harm.

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. ©
