Here's to the Jaded Ones ~ OpenLinkNight

jAdEd ~ Natasha Head~ Feb 2012

So many fancy trinkets must drive poor cupid mad.

Remember back in the day

when all it took was a look to know?

That warm pulse...racing through your veins

Causing your heart to speed up, your breath

caught in your throat.

Every hour apart enough to topple the mad hatter

every second like a nightmare

that little hand stuck...tick...tick....ticking

What happened...between lost in lust

and the everyday.

You can't buy it back, no matter your frustration

I was never one to be bought,

simple as that would be.

I need you...not a card, not a rose, not a dinner

though a glass or two of wine never hurt, and

music...my music

Fade to black as Patience is up on deck

and the garden of Eden will always wait

no matter how hungry the white snake grows

Some call me jaded

Some think me sour

but you never did...remember when you got me?

Too easy to please

you knew there had to be a catch...

and now you claim to have run out of things to say.

Here's to the jaded ones

and the conversations that will never be had.

Claudia will have her hands full this evening! OpenLinkNight AND Valentine's Day (not my favorite day, just saying!) But I have attempted a poem in honor of it none the less.  We're also rocking The River's second poetry slam today...so I'm a busy lady...(and since I'm posting this the evening before to be sure I'm ready...I'm providing you all a glimpse into the future as my treat to you for this special day) And, hint, hint, I'm rocking an 80's vibe at the slam! Feel free to swing by and cast a vote for your favorite...or stick around the pub in celebration of Poet Amore! It's Valentine's Day at dVersePoets!
