'Love, Reality TV, Taxes, And Other Disappointments' is a compilation of poems I'm putting together, with a view of submitting to some online publishers. Enjoy.
First Kiss
She asked ‘What do you do?’
Chewing on the end of her straw,
A look in her eye,
Never seen before ,
‘It’s not that exciting,’ playing it down,
‘I’m a cartoon Sheriff in a lunatic town.’
At this she laughed, a nasal sound made,
Another piece removed, from her masquerade,
She took it as Gospel, no questions asked,
Brushing my knee, contact at last.
This brand new person, I’ve only just met,
But already this feels as good as it gets,
An awkward hand-hold, fingers through her hair,
I leaned in slowly, accepting my own dare,
This dirty old town, suddenly bright behind us,
Her lips on mine, a quiet warm truss.
Fear melted away on that winter-tinged night,
From than on I knew, the world is alright.
