It's funny, isn't it, how different things affect you in different ways?

I wrote this one at approximately the same time as I wrote The Harmony. They are about the same person.

This poem has the distinction of being my only published work!

 

Intercession

 

You breezed in as if

You owned my life.

I wanted to stop you

But you blazed across

My line of escape.

 

Bewildering, breathtaking Adonis

You knew the mess

You would make of me.

I think you laughed

In the darkness.

Silently.

 

I thought that sex

Would heal the hurts

The other had placed within.

I was wrong.

It just made it worse.
