i have not written a poem in a very long while...
here you go:
"Unintention"
He spreads an oily smile wide against his face
So wide that
he barely notices the poison he
lets fall
from his lips.
His eyes blue like wading pools
are circular in astonishment
as his pearls of poison create small
pock marks on your arm and hand.
He thrusts the girl forward.
She, hanging from his shoulders,
a suit of armor of bone and softer flesh
stands between he and...
(the water blue of his eyes begins to spark and splatter
on the flashing raging griddle of yours)
she takes him away.
One day she will be forgiven
You used to believe love was using people, too.
