I pay for my sins
in a currency of torn connections
and
the faded colour of your closed eyes.
The ones,
that witnessed all the nasty cravings
and imprints
on the non-tanned skin.
It got chased
by my red-painted nails
and
the blue smoke.
That’s what made our passion purple –
unlike those ripe emotions,
that got replaced
by immature steps
of selfish needs,
while
my dirty petticoat
reeked of yesterday’s booze
and unfiltered words –
those got lost
somewhere between sheets,
together with broken strands of hair
and
our lawless past.
It screamed loud
in high-pitched tones
of
rightful accusations.
Ours.
– Chatty Owl –
Nice!
I’m late to this party, but this is fucking magnificent!
Parties at mine are never-ending, so you are not late!
Oh, how very good to know!
This a fearsome poem with so much passion poured out into the words. I love this. You are a pure force of perfect porse and i have yet to dislike anything you have written. If you were a novelist I would have to have everyone of your books. I would pay for these poems to be on my shelf so I can break it out and read them. Thank you for this!
Hey! So glad to see you around here. Always makes me feel appreciated. Well… Books on shelves will happen soon š
I cannot wait either! š I love your work, Chatty! And I’m glad I can bring that feeling to you! š you do the same for me.
grinding jaws
with bruised teeth
words
never account
for deficits
Ufff. Always so poignant.
I’ll pour you a drink at the bar while you pour your poetry over me…I enjoy all your work
That sounds like a great deal!
Gosh, this is good! I really enjoyed it, Chatty.
Thanks, oh dear one.
I wonder – if I would consume your poems with music, what tracks in your opinion I should choose? I mean, so I could experience them closest to what you actually imagined while writing.
Your poetic passion is a wonder to behold.
š thank you so much. Nice to see you hook’ing around.
Nice one!
As is your logo.
Thanks, I like it too!
Designed yourself?
No, that’s beyond my pay grade, I’m afraid.
A friend from the hotel designed it for me.
Friends rock.
Friends do rock indeed!
I enjoyed the thoughts in the poem. It made research a old Leonard Cohen song “Fingerprints.” It is funny how the past can be put away but never forgotten. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
Well Done! š
Introspective, but with a very subtle undertone too.
Glad to see your fans won’t hate me š
Glad to see you don’t hate me š
If i were younger and you were closer it could have come to that š (eventually)
I like this one!
IĀ“ve read it several times!
(:
Awww thanks! So happy you liked it. Means a lot coming from such a talented one.
This one speaks to me, the currency of torn connections reminds me of travel and the fleeting moments. Lovely.
Yes… Its amazing how travel and movement speak volume in your writings and Im honoured that my poem reminded you of things you like and look up to.
Thanks for stopping by!
Red nails, blue smoke – the perfect blend of purple ecstasy.
Two poems in a day? You are spoiling us with such plentiful poems š But keep it coming anyway š
I know, right? Two a day is not very typical of me, ha ha.
I really liked this one!
Thanks! I’ve written it a while ago, but wasnt sure if it was ok to post. I see it was! š
Yeah it is great!
Hey, I really love your erotic, smoky pieces and I guess everyone too. I would love to write with you something like that. š Let me know if you are interested. I’ll share my email address. š

There is a touch of genius in that opening line. Just sets the tone for what follows.
Im glad you thought it makes the needed impact.
“I pay for my sins
in a currency of torn connections” – such a strong line. I liked your word-image play with the colors aswell!
Thank you! Thanks for finding time to stop by and read my ramblings š
