You say it’s so easy
to lose yourself with me.
Especially when we kiss
with our eyes open
and you know
that I’ll never ask questions,
saving you from awkward answers
as you watch me
writing
right there, by the window,
with hardly any clothes on
and armed with strong black coffee
to keep my eyes and my mind
open.
You always remind me,
that your life is a ball of yarn,
knotted together with coloured strings
of happiness,
and I often tug at it,
pulling a string or two,
making it roll my way.
I sigh
at the sight of you
getting aroused in this moment,
even though we both know,
I’m here to break your heart
and you’re here to let me do it.
Cross your fingers
as I uncross my legs,
and
if you’re lucky enough,
you won’t see me again.

Love it… Brilliant as always!
Each line is simple & elegant; loaded with razorblades…
Loved it, Ms. Owl! 🙂
Clean cut. That was my aim. Thank you for all the twitter re-tweets, dear. When i saw it today, it made my heart skip a beat.
My oh my. Not coming to your blog more often to partake of some of this potent stuff has got to be a sin by now. This was just delicious!
Now thats a truly flattering comment! Thank you… Im struggling with time a little, but i will definitely head to your blog to check it out!
Oh I wasn’t trying to flatter you into viewing my blog BUT if you feel the need to do so, I certainly won’t stop you! 😀
I can read you again!!!
Im happy about that! 🙂
simply lovely. you have an unnerving ability to see inside the hearts and minds of your readers. tony
I try to connect with my readers, because every single one of them is very important to me… Thanks Tony. You are always such a great support.
love this sweeti. looking forward to more great reads in the year to come. with love, Eddie
And im looking forward to all your creativity in 2014!
holy shit!!! that is hot!! it’s only 7:00 a.m., but maybe i need a whiskey! p.s. i don’t see the “like” button on yours. am i missing it? nevertheless, comments worth far more than “likes”
Fiddlesticks makes me reflect on life, both mine and others. A “full life” I suspect is one that is filled with ALL emotions and that balance and contrast gives each a richness. It’s a wonderful work and thank you for sharing it. .
That is such a thoughtful and beautiful comment. Thank you.
You are right, life is only worth living, if you experience all range of emotions…
Thank you for stopping by.
Eloquent nonsense
Even nonsense has to be written down sometimes.
Hence your ‘Fiddlesticks’ title… I just love how the title contrasts with the rest of the piece… A fun way to write
The only way i know how to write…
This is a good piece. A good portrayal of powers we might not be able to control.
Thank you. I was trying with this one..
great poem, best i read today
Oh wow, quite a statement. Thank you so very much.
Strong stuff!
Thanks! Glad you thought so!
you tell such a tragic tale, very moving
Life needs tragic tales to be penned.. Thank you for stopping by, dear 🙂
you are the most powerful of creatures – lovely with the siren’s allure
Thats a compliment i will treasure.
“Even though we both know,
I’m here to break your heart
and you’re here to let me do it.”
I see so much ‘me’ here 🙂
That was such a sad statement….
beautiful writing, i like it 🙂
Thank you very much.
If the writing is on the wall,
but we are too blind to see,
we’re living another’s reality
only pretending it’s not a dream.
What a wonderful way to express your thoughts after reading my poem… Thats the sad part – being ignorant to the truth…. Sometimes i look at other people and wonder how they manage to survive in this life of lies.
It’s simple, they’ve swallowed them all as the truth!
“Truth” is easier to swallow, right?
I think lies are easier to swallow because they taste better going down, the truth is often bitter but it has the sweetest after taste 😉
You are right as always.
Love this…
Thanks Cliff… I was trying my best 🙂
oh my – how you weave your words and place thoughts into minds Ms Owl … another lovely piece of the flirty mastered 🙂 Your male readers would hang on every word – tis a good thing no? 🙂 x
I want all my readers to hang on my words 🙂 but yes, definitely a good thing 🙂
And you know what i think about your comments – i always wait for them! X
how sweet you are, then I shall try not to disappoint 🙂 ~ I wish you and those you love and hold dearest to your heart a safe, healthy and happy 2014 and looking forward to reading more of you. xx
Sounds like a beautiful but tragic love story Miss Owl. Watching you write-what a lovely thought. x
Love stories are so often tragic in many ways….
Watching me write? Well… I wouldnt know how i look 😉
the rhythmic sway
of morning’s crowded train
passengers pretend
this intimate dance suffices
but last night
you opened to embrace
our dance and sway
a faint memory
the fading last hint
of your perfume
*totally swoon*
Do you think the perfume will linger long enough to be inhaled later in the day and force the memories to play a second part of an intimate dance?
I suppose each dance is a chance to paint a new one.
Thats true, actually.
Beautiful, Chatty!
Thanks doll-face!
Yowzers! 😯
If you say so, mister 😀
MMMM strong black coffee. Now what else was there?
Just black coffee and a long shirt with no underwear.
I can almost smell tension of black coffee, uncrossed legs and unanswered questions.
Keep it going!
I will! 🙂 thanks…
Pulling at heart strings….so effortlessly
Trying..
You don’t have to try…
