Just Friends

A different version

said the man with the big bald head

"you like him,"

said i,

"do not,"

but i do.

Though I couldn't tell you, why you

if i had to pick a reason

i'd pick the one around your neck-

or is that your finger?

it's hard to tell the difference 

between such things,

a Noose and a Ring-

my Father loved me most,

He loved my mother less

I can attest

there is no Love in Romance.

as a Shapeshifter,

i am never the same shade for long

I could never love the same face

for a lifetime-

so i like you

because you don't like me

it's the perfect reciprocity

i don't get bored

you don't get hurt

together we are shameless flirts

and after hours in our beds

in the confines of our heads

we will consummate this tryst

and it will never be more, 

than this.

....unless there is a Catalyst.

Don`t really know why , but this is
humorous to me.
Life`s cmplexities, even to Father and
Daughter are spelled out in a manner
that most of us have never had reason
to consider.
---- "unless there is a Catalyst "

Aha, unless..... U:nless the world falls
out of the sky,or you start loving him,
by and by.

Not only is this a terribly bright and
energetic poem, but it is s product of
a gifted writer.

What is considered in this poem are the
exigincies of planet earth.

Excellent ! I love it .

This almost flows like a linkin park song or something, it's captivating. I find the line "I could never love the same face for a lifetime" very sad and unfortunate. Do you think you'll always write in these tones?

Absolutely amazing, I would even say brilliant. loved this. Can totally relate with the meaning, very well. Unless there's a catalyst. The catalysts in life are everything.

Thanks for sharing this.
