Surrender

image source

Come to me, she beckons
dark curves seducing me back
to this place of ambivalence
Desire, destruction hopscotch across her body
She smiles
keys cracked and black stained
rotten teeth
meth mouth
gaping hole waiting to be filled
with my words
she mocks my impotence
I wave the white flag

You are so talented at writing I only hope I can get half as good as you someday...I'm working hard on it! I have a ? if you don't mind. Under "My Bloggie Friends Give Me Awards" I'd appreaciate that you give me a link back to my site on "The Sunshine Award" I'm the only person that doesn't have one on your list. It would be a great help in bringing me some readers. At least it will get the horses to water, if they drink or not it's up to them. Lol! Hope your Halloween was good and keep up the wonderful writing! ♥

The keyboard is an evil seductress. A vile evil black plastic harpy with her claws dug into my shoulders screeching "Write, you fool! Write!"
