i fly off handles,
my tongue drips with road kill
butterflies in ink cover the bite of the crazygirl
when i see red,
i pull no punches and take no prisoners
i am a freed egg dripping arsenic on steamy summernight sidewalks,
i am a crimson fountain
sprung from a clogged arterie
a faucet pouring wet paint down the drain,

i met a poet that hid behind a screen
he wore the hat of a rainmaker,
and sent me rainbows in boxes
i sent him goldenlocks sealed with kisses,
he wooed me from afar
from the land of prize pigs
and blue ribbon applepies,
he made for us, a brass bed, trimmed in rose petals,
then wouldn't change the old sheets,
couldn't perform past the screen,
i hear he's taken the concorde,
leaving his rat droppings, going global now,
he still scratches, beneath the surface tho,
like a fungus
and adds hot pepper to my poetic soup,
i can see his head floating in it now,
like  a big purple cabbage,
words that used to ring him in magical moonbeams
now swim between fish bones,
waiting to be discarded in the garbage disposal,

dont worry tho, girliegirls,
i still have a trump card out there,
im okay ,you're okay
we can comfort eachother on the ledge
no one is going to jump,

i wake some mornings
wishing i could just love another woman,
i still cling to hope that love exists
beyond the first kiss,
that maybe the man in the moon
will one day release the lover that eludes me
etc.etc.etc.
and the beat goes on...........................

Oh my...
you got punch
you got style
you are the MoxieGoddess

what does the king of pigs have  
a tail to tuck
& cute lil silk ears
to make a purse out of
& a hoof to keep himself company

I'm sure this was just a story
no one would be dumb enough
to mess with a woman like that
especially you
Great write

thanks bill.....yes, in your face at times, thats me...thanks for the wow

you too, angelblue

sue, so glad to get u to laugh....and you know , you know....yep , undescribable,
can u tell me who i am? lol....

dreamyboy....yes, yes, so right....but the exorcism may just about complete, the priest
has left the building and the soup will
boil out into steam pretty soon....vanish
into the nothingness that it sprang from, for
some godforsaken reason that it happened at all....lesson for cyberfrogs....do not say the L word, and then stand a goddess up for coffee....that is just so so uncool......
a real man wouldn't do that, would he?

Hmmm .....
     sometimes we never know the truth until it hurts.

          Another beat is sure to follow,
            another day, another tomorrow ...


  Ever played Leap Frog?
       of course you have ...
               ... silly question!

            Any final words .....

               ....   SOUPS ON!!!

Lots of anger released and I hope for the last time. The final last time. Frogs hop away...keep it away. Powerful read.
