The Lover and The Rapist (Free verse) by Skamper
Youâre quite the little fashion statement
A gadgeted device - unseasoned
Iâve seen you
heart shaped and draped over shoulders
of the great and meek alike
worn with impressive determination
the leaders of the flocks
insist an irresistible doctrine
for our political/satirical nation
shall be seen and if Iâm correct
believed â
but we wonder donât we
on their intended manifestations
In five steps
we back away from closeness
if we find a window to look through
all the better â donât you think
in a reflection thereâs overlooking -
some shading - smoothing
movements seen and never felt
from here we can fondle
undergarments of the finest â kind
be aware and not awake
I can watch the gardener
picking pieces - the choicest first
in his clever hands
I will write of you â sing sometimes too
I can pinky promise - sincerity
make all your birthday wishes â true
while I push my fingers
deeper in your flesh
and protest! I shall Yes!
I want to save your best
for last
did you see me â parading
I had a sign â save the planet
it means - I really love you
I was wearing dirt and sweat
and frowning like they do
There may be a little bleeding â donât pay it any heed
cos you see - it will be OK
You love me too â donât you?
