Young, innocent
And wrinkle free
What
The fuck
Do you see in me?
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Young, innocent
And wrinkle free
What
The fuck
Do you see in me?
Why don’t you just start small
He said
Take baby step, or two
Because to act like I’m over him
She said
Couldn’t be further from the truth
I don’t think I can do it
She said
I’m just too fucking scared
It’s the only way I can see
He said
For your heart to be repaired
I can’t wait
To see you next
And hear you
Say my name
To feel
Your touch
To say
Too much
And to fall in love
Again
You may think
Your cheeky wink
Was both charming
And flirtatious
Yet your inane smile
And attempt to beguile
Tested nothing
But my patience
Why don’t
We leave now
He said
Let’s get a bus,
Taxi or walk
We won’t
Be having sex
She said
But I’d love it
If we could talk
How we were
Tonight
Wasn’t
Quite right
In fact,
We were downright
Laughable
But when
A love affair
Is in the air
I guess no one is
Entirely rational
You can pull
Out all the stops
Call on every ploy
And device
But whatever the spiel
They will never feel
Exactly the same way,
Twice
It’s not me you want
It’s her, over there
With the sparkly eyes
And the perfect hair
But I’ll play along
And my feelings, ignore
After all I’ve done it
Plenty times before
As we stumble
Like fools
Across
The dancefloor
I can’t help
But wonder
Who wants
This more
It’s nice to see
How you are with me
Is in no way chauvinistic
But as for your chance
When it comes to romance
I wouldn’t be too optimistic
It wasn’t
That I
Am frigid
Or disinterested
In scoring
But your attempts
To flirt
Were insipid
And your chat,
Pretty boring
Of all
The things
I've known
To be true
I'd say one
Is the spark
Between me
And you
I can see
You look
At my beer
So put down
Your book
And get
Over here
There’s no need
For anything fancy
Or to reinvent
The wheel
Because it won’t be
What you say to me
But how
You make me feel
I hope you don’t mind me asking
He said
But do you think of me
At all?
I’ll remember that night forever
She said
But the rest
I can’t recall
I’ll sleep with you
When I’m good and ready
So don’t come around here
All hot and heavy
Thinking your patter
Will trick me to bed
You see all that talk
I’ve heard before
And believe you me
I know the score
So never again
Can I be misled
If I was a little more forward
And not just so uptight
Then I’d stop being so awkward
And sleep with you tonight
But as it is I’m a coward
With no confidence at all
So the only thing I’ll see tonight
Are the cracks in my bedroom wall
Sneaking outside
For a cheeky cigarette
I catch your eye
And swiftly regret
That I said
I’d go home with him
Creeping back inside
And to the bar
I see you again
Peering from afar
And I know
That it’s sink or swim
It’s your hair at first
That grabs my attention
But when I see your face
I know my intention
Is to take you back
To mine
And as I watch you again
When you walk back in
Standing at the bar
Ordering a drink
I know it’s just
A matter of time
(Inspired by a writing prompt offered by Michael at https://afterwards.blog)
With his winning charm
And heart of valour
He led her home
Where he knew he’d have her
With her flowing hair
And knowing grin
She followed him home
Where she knew she’d win
With those beautiful eyes
And winning smile
It should be no surprise
We’ll be here a while
Fuelled by wine
And impure thoughts
I smiled as nature
Took her course
Absence doesn’t make
The heart grow fonder
We just start to yearn
For what’s over yonder
And so we’re presented
With a question to ponder
Exactly which opportunity
Should we squander?
Please
excuse my
awkwardness
I know
I look like
quite the
amateur
I’m just
not sure
of the
etiquette,
yet
Let alone
all of the
vernacular
Tell me
That you missed me
Even
Just a touch
Because I know
I found
By not
Hanging around
That I missed you
Very much
As you stood there,
Smiling,
In your kilt
My stubborn resolve
Began to wilt
And I laughed,
Wholeheartedly
I can’t seem to shake the feeling
He said
That you’re just trying to lure me in
But all I do is sing songs
She said
With wickedly flirtatious grin
Windows To The Soul
I
stare
into
your
eyes
He
said
And
wonder
what’s
buried
so deep
Songs
to
make
you
smile
She
said
With
words
to
make
you
weep

Don’t try to sweet talk me
She said
I’ve met your type before
Just come a little closer
He said
And we’ll see who’s the bore
Once Bitten
I’ve dreamt of you before
She said
And I didn’t fall for you then
Well I’m here in real life now
He said
So let me try again

Alhough we’ve never spoken
It’s still my daily treat
To remember that emotion
As our eyes shyly meet
After All
You
were
here
last
time
I
clearly
remember
your
smile
Perhaps
leaving
the
house
today
Might
yet
prove
to be
worthwhile

After all
That playful promise
It is time for me
To be brutally honest
I’m glad we tried it
In the sack
But I’m leaving now
And I won’t be back
Closing Time
If a
nod
Is as
good
As a
wink
Then
me
and
you
Should
get
that
drink
And
finally
put
This
flirtatious
thing
Between
us
both
To
bed

Concerning affairs
Of the heart
I was once a master
But when he died
I lost my mind
And now I’m a complete disaster
Ready To Implode
It
isn’t
you
That
I don’t
trust
Honestly,
it’s
me
My
mind
is
No
longer
robust
enough
To
deal
with
Such
trickery
