I will not
Kiss you when my lips drip
With an acquired disease
Touch you with soiled fingertips
However much you plead
Smear your body with my grease
To ease your troubled sleep
I will not
Bring you such bitter sweet relief

I will not
Love you with the open fist
That slams against the wall
Wear the mask of utter bliss
When you curl up small
Use my strength as a defence
Against your innocence
I will not
Seed my love in a life of discontent

I will not
Confuse my love
I will not
Refuse my love
I will not
Abuse my love
For my love's
Complete

Very good again. If you could spread the love a bit and comment/advise other writers that would be brill'. I know you left a comment on one of mine (thanks) but you are such a good writer I would really like others to get a bit of your slant on their stuff.

Hi Scratch First I'm pretty nervy about offering advice, especially other a medium that carries tone so poorly AND because I understand there's a world of difference between the getting it good and the getting right, and often the former is enough for people. I'm also increibly busy with not only a job and home life but also with performing around 150 shows a year AND shooting every gig I'm at AND creating art shots too on the photography front... Would be very happy to respond to any requests for my specific view on a piece and I WILL try and browse round more to see if there's others that impel me to say something... I know, it's all excuses - but man is it a busy life! Ant, The GameCat, Smith www.antsmith.net
