A Valentine Journey
by Kate Quinn(c)2005

All the years
And all the darkness
Stagnant loneliness
Lost and Empty

Then awareness
Like a sudden
scent of flowers
On the subway

Made me question
Made you wonder
Made us think
And then the thunder

Dark and passionate
Anger, throbbing
Bulging eyes
And threats so pure

Then the sunlight
Through the storm
Shining through
With something new

A reason to stop
And look and listen
To the music
We left behind

Picking up pieces
All the old songs
Strung together
To form an opera

That we wrote
All on our own
Original music
Is sung the best

Only we
Control our lives
Control our destiny
But love controls us

So let it be
Turn up the music
Dance with me
And flow into life

the other side of V-day

put a pink bow on a dog turd
shape it heart-like, turn it red
someone'd give you money for it
Valentine's Day fills me wtih dread

take some heart-shaped ravioli
tomato pasta makes it red
add some raspberry tirmisu
you'll worked making 'em til you're dead

Valentine's Day is about money
roses, diamonds, Teddy bears
if people want to spend big dollars
i've no trouble taking theirs



heh. sorry. that just came out....

Love One Night

Where?
Anywhere.
The shower?
Fine, just please
Make me forget,
Let the water run warm.
Down between my shoulder blades
And pass sud laden
Over the lower arch in my back
Do you want candles?
No.
I don’t want anything but you
And this dim light suits me fine.
I’ll be forced to learn
Your foreign curves the hard way.
My dripping fingers
Will run your curls strait
And leave a trail of goose bumps
Across you’re your embracing chest.
We left the gamblers downstairs,
Wasting a small fortune on another hand,
But I’m learning a new trick
One I’ll keep up my sleeve.
When I’ve won this hand
Maybe I’ll approach the tables at home
Better able to read
The opponents I have to face.
Maybe then I’ll win love
Before I have to fold.

happy single's awarness day...

i lie awake, watching you breathe
the things you screamed an hour ago, playing in my head
the pleasure i brought you, the way you yelled my name
the feeling of your body, gliding over mine
the softness of your lips, touching my every nerve
the way you whispered 'i love you', as i pulled you close to me

the trust of your soul, sleeping peacefully next to me
your hand curled unknowingly, against my bony wrist
the smile upon your face, your spirit happy and at rest

unlike me you dream, of what's yet to come
but i know the answers, some things must be done
for i just met you, and took you home with ease
and in the morning, i'll wake you from your sleep
show you to the door, pat you on the ass
without looking back, thanks baby, last night was a blast

word.

Disclaimer: This poem deals with a dark, violent subject matter. Cursing and the implication of things, but aside from that, nothing graphic.

Be an adult and make a decision. If you don't think you can handle it, scroll down or skip this one. If you choose to read, don't bitch cause you are offended. I shall come and smite thee viciously with my 'hypocrite die' sword.

"Forever Love"

We're forever, love
I've told you this before
You can't shut me out
It's you that I adore

We've been over this
I'm for you and you're for me
And I'm going to show you, goddamnit
This is the way it's supposed to be

I'm going to make you feel it
You can't escape my love
I told you, we're forever
It's in every slap, in every shove

Why do you make me do this?
I just wanna love you, dear
This wouldn't happen if you'd just listened
You're the one making this about fear

I'm willing to let you come back
Cause we belong together
I already told you, bitch
Our love is forever

Your friends and family can't help
They know you're a lying, conniving whore
I'm too good for you, in reality
But I'll take you back, cause I can make you more

You're nothing without me
I won't even let you try
If you're going to be like that
I might have to stop being a nice guy

You know I hate that
But you just won't see reason
I wanted us to be together
For the rest of our life's seasons

I see now, you're going to be stubborn
I've got something to deal with you
I said forever bitch
And I always tell the truth

Side by side, we'll stay
One way or another
I won't let you leave me
Our love is forever.
