Years Later....*Poem* The bed at the center of it all– the way you never felt like a stranger, instead like someone, I had forgotten, like a part of myself I had dropped in some distant city delivered back to my door. Our story, a pipe-dream in three parts– my bedroom the place where everything came together and the place where everything fell apart. there are still echoes of us in the bed-frame, and the closet, and the drywall. I keep your dignity on the bookshelf; I figure you’ll come looking for it, eventually. It always comes back to here. the only sanctuary I have ever known still smells like you, sometimes. just when I think I’ve gotten you out of the pillowcases, I find your cologne on the walls. I remember when you came apart in pieces on the carpet, and I will never be able to wash the heartbreak out of the floors. Someday, I will leave our story behind, in this city. this apartment will be barren and then it will be full of other people. none of them will know our names; they will track over our history like re-recording over old videotapes. I won’t miss you. Or I will miss you, but I’ll have bought a new mattress: one that doesn’t know how you twitch in your sleep. I will have a new bedroom and the floorboards won’t know how to moan your name like I do. and we’ll fall asleep in different beds, in different cities. And if I wake up from dreams that still taste like you, I can take comfort in the fact that even though you have kissed me, you have never kissed me here. ~Caitlyn Siehl  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

Is that delicious photo saying kiss me here or kiss my ass in relevance to that poem ? I am not sure ,either way is appropriate ! That photo is simply perfection in a moment ~ Master Mentor  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

One of my favorite poems. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”
