'She' speaks to 'He' in Poetry

He swims like a fish around stones

Darting responsibility

Goliath's David

Hair shines like eighteen carat gold



Burnished from edgy omnipresent sun

He is twinned like a double barrel gun

Burnt out until he is blasted.



Locked in a moment

One event changing everything

The images distorted

Introducing a parallel universe



Till deaths sweet release

He will fast on a bitter feast

Of redundant lies and accomodating whores



Behind the slammed doors

during silent suckling

He will pray to his damaged Gods

To release him from his emotional baggage.



Confetti-fed he lures them to bed

aching with futuristic longing

Within the ebb and flow

Ice-cream sweat





Hot fudge dreaming.

He bows down to a pyramid mentor

matriarchal yet androgynous

His sultry siren.





'She' speaks to 'He' in poetry

In tongues, desperately

sensing his need,

affectionate greed



Need to be needed.



Subliminal messages are born

He tries to pretend he is emotionally dead

He doesn't hear

Inside his guts are ripped apart.



All the negatives he adorns on she

Anger, Hostility, Pride

He mirrors her

Without acknowledgement.



Languishing in lust-lorn regret

With self pity to beat himself to death

'She' speaks to 'He' in poetry

Though he hears not.

A very thought-provoking poem! Yes, poetry is like keeping a diary – it’s journals from the soul. It’s also the writer’s way or medium to becoming whole. So keep on writing and eventually someone will listen and hear! I’ve enjoyed this poem very much – thanks for sharing – I can truly say I understand this ‘calling”!

Kind regards

Excellent. It describes the tortured person perfectly. the hair colour gives it away.
