stripped of emotional sense

like a rasher of bacon
flailed
then cast aside,
not even crisped brown
and tasted
missing the salt of life
gone wanting…

he took that sense
of loving
left it behind in
dreams of his
own
it was all I had
to give
of love…

he took that sense
of caring
which was given so
freely
and stomped from
it sharing
indeed, the time
is now wearing…

he took what
feelings were left
and poked fun
and poked holes
and now not
even
swiss cheese
is left
behind…

so the discarded
bacon is left
to be
rat meat
greening and spoiled
along the roadside

and I can only
Thank God
that this all happened
beachside
so that perhaps
a gull will fight
the rat and pick me up
and take me on
one last flight

up

I enjoyed the view in this and the time that
you obviously put into the thoughts...gave
me a reason to pause and ponder...always a
joy to do when it's one of your pieces~

I'm with Aurora on this one, I actually felt the aftertaste!

BDC, to know that you read, and just don't walk away, but take it with you to think on it, is a poet's delight...thank you for letting me know, you've just put the breeze under my wings...

Kathleen, thank you for reading!

Kari, applause, this is wonderful, I'm catching up on my reading so. This is getting sent to the front, where it can be read and where it should be. Cream always rises to the top, so rise away love.

Jeez! Can't believe I didn't comment on this one! I remember when I read it how well presented it was...

Don't worry, sunshine. I'm a rat that will always bring home the bacon!

Well written and clear cut to the point sort of poem....do I detect a little brag? maybe not, will reread for better interpretation.
Seems this one could be used as standby time after time after time, looks like somebody would wise up...or maybe they have?? good en'

Kindasorta, thank you for the read.  I think what you read was a sense of hope...not brag. Thanks again.
