It's not my fault that I love you
We could blame it on a lot of things
Or we could both just shut up
Take what's given in the underbelly
Ride a ghost train out of town
Or snuggle up close next to me
That booth in the back of Joe's Cafe
Yeah that booth
Cracked leather from lovers on the fringe
Things are great at home
They're better here and you know it
Order the ribeye steak medium
A bottle of their best Spanish red
It's payday and that 3pm meeting is canceled
Maybe dessert here or on the other side of town
Our call ....

Been thinking the last few days about the way I used to write.
The words and feeling are coming fast and furious
I've got my paintings to lend a hand too....
BIG THANKS K

I love this and the painting fits perfectly.
I see a person standing in the fringe and staking a step up trying to decide which way to go…

No, it's all my fault. That's what everyone tells me, so it must true. :p
Oh yes... Lovers on the fringe; always pushing the boundaries.
Whether in the café, on the train, at home, or the underbelly of the city.
There is only one dessert that is important, and it burns calories.
One of my favorite paintings so far. There is something haunted about it..

I like when you take the blame
It's so rare
It's not my fault
That's for damn sure
Gives me hope
Or am I foolish?
Thx on the painting, one of my personal favorites, you have good taste.....x

This makes me hungry, thirsty, and pining for the moment it created.
Wonderful words, to accompany your painting!

I cut my teeth in the underbelly and I'm back to dish it up some more.
Lust is a must on my side of town
Thx for the great comment

I enjoyed your poem. It reminded me of the good things in life.
"Ride a ghost train out of town" struck the chord and I was there.
The picture evokes a face, and at the same time I get a cubist abstraction feel.

I'm really glad you liked the poem and painting.
I had fun writing this one. I was thinking about Bukowski and the writer Raymond Carver when I wrote it.
Thanks James !

It has that feel the Bukowski vein, and the poet speak magic.
I have not read Raymond Carver yet. But I am well read in Bukowski. Bukowski has it all, the pain, the joy, the madness, the sex, and the cold humourous style. He grinds you up into a pulp, and then gives you something beautiful for your time.

Appreciate that James
Yes, he was a fire starter but with a heart in all that mayhem.
I really like some of his novels specifically Post Office and others.
I feel that guy in the chaos and heart,
Thanks always for the reads and comments

Really appreciate the comment on poem and painting Robert.
If ever interested my paintings are up for sale. This one is a 11 x15 on cold pressed paper I believe. Could also be 13 x 17.
I remember thinking this one came out well.
Thanks !
