Lie to me

Just words

                            

                    Lie to me

You disrobe slowly and stand bare and nude in front of me.

You reach-out to me. Took my vodka and juice drink and you whispered

“Redemption are for the lucky ones.

Us wallowing in sin and gin.

Need the cheap motel and the poet’s lies.

I like the dark motel room dear lover.

Smell like dirty streets and old sin.

Love cost dear Poet and the chaos of the shade of love can be enough.

Make me a vodka and juice with some extra vodka,

to kill the wish for anything that can be profound.

Dear poet. Sin, gin and deep bottles  of vodka are the sorry sounds of

the people wanting nothing. This is us.”

"Sin, gin and deep bottles of vodka are the sorry sounds of
the people wanting nothing."

This line strikes me - are people who sleep around and drink truly happy people who live within the moment, or are they unhappy people who are trying to find some satisfaction? I really don't know if getting jealous of people who can carelessly mingle is petty or not.

In the end. We need someone. I lost two brothers to suicide in 1988 and 1989. Took me ten years to truly show real face. Broken hearts comes for many reasons. Everyone need a safe haven. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

Dark and dirty without ever having to give in to profanity. The line, "Redemption are for the lucky ones..." set the tone of a complicated relationship all wrapped up in a tidy bow of NSA sex, alcohol and art. Love this.

Thank you Damien. I appreciate the comment.

[Damien Thibodeaux]

You're welcome.

One of my fav. poetry! The depiction of pic. is also very beautiful, displaying something very flowery through these poetic words. Every line that you pen down has its own depth within that makes us readers feel contended, and full of romance. Excellent work here once again!

I absolutely love the imagery in this poem. Great job!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Kasey. I appreciate the comment.

A poignant articulation of the depths of lust at times, there are those who prefer to stay afloat with a vice or two to block out self exploration. The atmosphere here is wonderfully done hon :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my dear friend. Sometime better to hide real face and be content with the life near.

[Ruth]

Always my pleasure hon :)

Two people falling for each other, not necessarily love or compassion but definite lust, as if to lose oneself in another person. I like it. Well said.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank Brittany. I appreciate the comment.

[Hebe]

Very potent ...two people accepting the situation and making the most of it. Very in the moment, great write!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Hebe. I appreciate the comment.

[Ana Papaya]

That's very very lovely. Kind of hot too.
I like the free open minds here just living in the moment.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Ana. I appreciate the comment.

[FIN]

Two individuals lost in the world of romantic engagement to the point of dispersing it all together and accepting the shadows of "gin, sin, vodka and juice; and the smell of dirty streets."

I highly enjoyed this piece for the truth it depicts in mosts' "conquests" to obtaining honest love; but without carrying the realization that love is not a conquest, but a partnership in its essence.

This is highly poetical and the storytelling is valuable insight into such states of being, lower than that of love. Most notably: Lust and loss of hope.

Honest read.

Much love,

LR
