Another month of M’s writing prompts lies ahead.ย I did them all in December but was less successful in January.ย Let’s see how we do in February shall we.ย These pieces tend to be excerpts and flashes of something that could be.ย The exploration of an idea…
He pens soft verse and longs for hours
and buys her gifts then sends her flowers
and writes of walks in April showers
His love and longing born
His hearts desire is not reflected
in her look, he stands rejected
her response not as expected
And so he stands forlorn
Perhaps, he thinks, this is the game
I’ve been too sweet, he does proclaim
and confident, her heart to tame
Craves rose but feels the thorn
But every time he is refused
his heart in tatters ego bruised
lost and angry frail and used
And hate spring forth from scorn.
With craving need and grinding lust
his darkened heart he cannot trust
and raging hunger he does thrust
ahead and sounds hates horn
Polite refusal fuels his shame
she love’s another, he’s to blame
and in his mouth her rancid name
he dwells until the morn
Darkness consumed he loses hope
with hood and blade and tangled rope
succumbs to hates slippery slope
Their worlds apart are torn
And in the dark desire fulfilled
he sits alone, her body chilled
and she like love his hate has killed
And so a beast is born
Excellent!

If you are unfamiliar with Michael’s work, you are in for a treat! This often naughty, irreverent, and funny man is also extremely talented!
