Two Men.

Two Men.

A Poem by Paul Bell

I shouldn’t be with you
In this hotel
In this bed
In this relationship
No
I should be with my wife
In my house
With my newborn child
Living the life of suburbia
But I’m not
Instead
I’m planning an engagement
The future
I’m now two men
Living the lie
Waiting for the inevitable to happen
And it will.

Yeah, how's he going to get out of this one.
There's a lot of power behind your words. Though I know everyone has their own style after reading a few of your poems, I think that format and punctuation to affect how the poem is read could really pack a punch with your words.

You're probably right.
Though I just feel poetry should be bare.

Which is fine too, Its more of a style choice. There's art in giving bare words power
Twists and turns and subterfuge...living a double life described so well- “I’m now two men”...oh what tangled webs....great form, flow, cadence, repetition. Well-penned!

indeed

Matthew
Now that you've come out the closet
We'll have to have an annulment
with double the security deposit
Oh Paul, why did you do this?

A interesting poem my friend. Hard decisions to lose the safety of love and warm house for a one night stand. Thank you Paul for sharing the amazing poetry.
