PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a gentle fog of unnatural disquiet fell suddenly upon

the over heated room

and after personally witnessing its abrupt arrival

it was wrong of me to assume

the argument alone was futile and yet contained tempers

much too highly strung

we each could not expect the other to do battle with such

unfair accusations before being flung

but until that actual moment your impossible neck

I could have quite cheerfully wrung

for you my friend are the epitome of guilt before a

grand jury that by all rights should be hung

what abrasive bouts of livid rage have we in the past

nobly suited ourselves up for

only in the end to discover, redirect and correct an

obvious error to become the absolute best of friends

once more

your unseemly lack of morals though I must admit I do

quite openly deplore

they insult the true sense of romance and frankly sicken

me to the core

they shake my confidence where propriety is concerned

and make me feel by modern feminist standards all too

innocent and quite poor

but that is neither your problem nor next thought

for you're just angry because you got caught.......
