Mishappiness Tales

1.BITTERSWEET&SOUR

If you left me today

I would happily open the front door

If only to stop you slamming it

I of course wish you well

Even though I can tell

You don’t give a shit

Which is fine with me

Both of us set free

From the mundane chores

And the mini wars

That has worn away all the love

We never had.

2. LAST KISS

I remember it well

The look on your face

I could trace every line

Of dead ends

We were never lovers

Just frustrated friends

Sex was unadventurous

The mission position

Was the best we could do

As if it was a duty

No emotion no bliss

No tongues

On our last kiss.

3. CARNAL KNOWLEDGE

We were like wild animals

Tearing into each other

We tried every position we knew

Which was two

The bed screamed for mercy

As did I

We were not gymnasts

But we gave it a go

We were at it like butchers knives

And both of us agreed

It was the best 10 minutes of our lives.

4. IRISH LOVE

I met a darling

With eyes of Jewels

On a windy day at Keem Bay

The sea was troubled

The waves grew wilder

The clouds were racing

Across a simmering sky

We held hands

As we walked across the sand

We shared a few words                                                                                     

About the world and life

I said I could never be a husband

Although I love you

She said a wife I will never be

But I love you too

We departed as we started,

Young, curious and free.
