Loving me was her end, you see...
it was simply not to be.
Each day I stood by, watching... waiting.
each day she stood there, hopeful... waiting.
I wasn't what she expected.
and in the end, she was rejected.

And in the end, she was rejected.
Her needs and desires neglected.
Her heart sought more than she got.
And what was once hot was not.

And what was once hot was not.
The handle of the pan got soft.

Letting it slip from my hand.
On the floor, crash it did land.

Now a dent and stain are there.
I can only look, curse and swear.

It's really more than I can bare.
I know you gave me a dare.
But it's a part I rarely share.

But it's a part I rarely share.
No! I would never give a dare.
Sometimes to curse and swear.
Is the only face one can wear.
As voices from the devil flare.
Images in our mind ensnare.
It is hard sometimes to share.
When one resides in Satin's lair.

When one resides in Satan's lair..
It doesn't matter what's right or wrong..
Life will always be unfair..
As long as you keep singing a loser's song..

When one resides in Satan's lair..
Wrong or right, quit singing a loser's song..
Stand up tall, face down Satan's stare..
He can not win if you don't play along..

This is a team game and requires effort on both parts.
I want you to get along. Is that so wrong?

A slice.. or two.. would be so smart.
But I must warn you in advance before you start.
Too many apples will make you fart.

So don't go be too damn smart, or else you'll feel your buttocks part.

When flatulent pressure releases.
Your pants, takes out the creases.

Cuts through not making a hole.
Making sounds of thunder roll.

Smells, are that of rotten eggs.
At times, even warms your legs.

This air that makes your pants flap.
But if warmth is all we really want.
Better we have a warm butt sitting in our lap.

I must now put on my thinking cap..
Its hardly been used, infact it's almost brand new,
and it's soft and its beautiful and it's in shades of green and blue.

And it's soft and its beautiful and it's in shades of green and blue.
Like an Amazon parrot or ferns in morning dew.
The only thing more beautiful and a greater prize.
Is seeing those reflections within your eyes.

Is seeing those reflections within your eyes,
everything you so despise.
And I tried my hardest just to make you pleased,
but you spit in my face like im diseased.
im tired of your wants and wishes.
Hiding darkness with a kiss.
everything will be just fine you tell me.
I smile with hidden knife in hand...
I know I will be.

Now if only I had some glue,
Oh my, then I'd have a shoe,
From many parts, of glorious hue,
But then I'd need another shoe.
So off I go, looking for bits,
Then I can call this poem quits.
Ghosts, flamingos, guitars and vodka. Eclectic subjects, eccentric stories:

Our eyes met and our hearts took flight.
I couldn't remove you from my minds sight.
I had to know you none too soon.
It hurt too much just looking at you.. from across the room.
