You Blew It

His INSPIRED words are like silk, but his heart is like a dagger.
Should have seen it coming, that obnoxious so-and-so!
Taking all the accolades openly and giving back sparingly, discreetly.

Feeling empowered by my praise you approach me.
Lacking understanding you start to provoke me.
Now you've lost an opportunity to really know me.

Foolish of me to think you were different
The manner in which you speak irreverent

But believe this, you won't find me wailing
Your arrogance and hypocrisy prevailing.

Bon Appétit

Would it be indulgent of me to have another taste
Un-ladylike for me to pursue it in haste
Or should I let it be

Will you think differently of me
To learn of my appetite
How eager I am to take a bite

If I promise no one will get hurt is it wrong
Upon craving these things to start humming a song
The fulfillment of my wish has come

Some enticing delights are just too sweet
Only a skillful chef can compete
Any volunteers to deliver some treats

I am very famished, it is quite a fright
While having this cupcake I will bid you good night!

Where Is the Love

If I were suicidal, now would be a good time to check out
Ever feel such intense loneliness amongst those who claim to love you?
Annoying still are the repetitious statements of love;
Especially those with no corresponding actions EVER

Should I take it at face value,
Expect it to show up without warning?
Would it be wise of me to rest my weight on something so hollow?

If I were inconsiderate, I would expose the foolish
Put to rest the constant murmurings of feigned love so unrewarding
So empty, so non-existent so obviously NOT love.

When sowing love unto such unfeeling creatures
Am I not casting my pearls before swine?
Will true love ever be mine?
Is my standard of love too high for some to comprehend? To match?

Silent reflection does not comfort me

There has to be more, much more
Or else how could my heart be so full with love to offer?

If I were human perhaps I could feel it
I'd be able to embrace it in all of its splendor
Take refuge in the warmth of it.
But I am only an idea of love; an idea of love too potent to be sustained.

What I Want

If I am not your woman
Don't overstep your bounds
If I let you in,
Recognize you have no entitlements where I am concerned

While we are getting to know each other
Be attentive, respectful, consistent

Honest, real, sincere, discreet
Funny, positive, romantic, and sweet
Generous, spontaneous, adventurous, kind
Have intelligence, charm and
I will make you all mine.

I promise you will have no regrets
Now I dare you to put me to the test.
