wild is a lonely girl
some fantasies should be stood up against a brick wall,
blindfolded, & shot at sunrise.
she loves me. more than she ever loved, & proves it by
word & by deed. if I were a man, I would love her, I suppose,
but I don’t know how to love. what I know is how to hurt her.
that, I can do.
she ran away from her darkness to find me.
she couldn’t recall how long she’d been walking,
but it was a long time.
she didn’t know how far she was from home,
but it was a long way.
in my despair, I pour a drink, aged whiskey in a shot glass; tamp
down a smoke & light it up. in the gray air, I see the naked bodies
of women who brought me French kisses & dirty sex. they came
to be fornicated, or beaten. I gather these elements & hold on tight,
they make good poetry.
so her story & mine run together on these bleak nights. she gets explicit
in her desire, her obsession for the bad names that make her beautiful.
our love-lock is a slipknot, raw & gritty: it bruises our skin & breaks our
hearts. but we can’t do it enough, & we can’t do without it.
she wonders if I will ever make a place in my heart for her,
but she knows I’m a soldier –
a soldier of loneliness & sex…

I absolutely, love the art you chose. The contrasting shades accentuate the emotion, the colorless beauty reflected in your verses. The color of loneliness.
And the poetry, John, the poetry is sublime.
Loneliness needs company,too, and when it meets its match,it is a shared connection. It hurts to love and hurts more to loose, so we stay and share the hurt....

Sometimes I feel that two loners love the deepest,
having experienced the contrast of aloneness.
Beautifully penned, John.

One day the soldier will meet a combatant of the same caliber, a lady well acquainted with finer points of pain. Until then you've got the upper hand and the lines to match. Fine work.

They make good poetry indeed and I will never tire hearing of your liaisons.

Words are lacking to describe what this piece does to me...
I see the naked bodies
of women who brought me French kisses & dirty sex. they came
to be fornicated, or beaten.
Brilliant lines as is the last one (well, every line in this piece is great) Loved it!
