Herbert Nehrlich Poems

The ledge felt quite intrusive,
his bony legs and scrawny ass
had chosen just to sit a bit.
He was unsure, since 10 o'clock
...

And there it was that stupid little thing.
Training to be an obstetrician in this place
world's greatest took me under his left wing
but let me loose too early, 'just in case'.
...

'I'm only five, you know
and, just like you
have started school.
Mum says I like it.
...

' Come', said Gitta (that's my niece) ,
' let's go down to the nudist camp',
as I was looking at the crease
that I had ironed into damp
...

You called me by a novel name.
I now am SNOWFLAKE, just to you.
But snowflakes do not stay the same
they fall and turn into delicious dew.
...

My arms will be prepared
and happy for the chance
to hold you, having been
it seems now, made
...

Exotic is a word
that rings
inside my ears
like violins.
...

Oh Zeus, I am about to stand
all nude beneath your cirrus clouds
to open with my free and eager hand,
and move aside, uncovering the shroud
...

So let me now reveal to you my friend
what I consider sin, the word is oft misused,
so many tend to twist and squirm and bend
to please the Gods, who may not be amused
...

He was enthralled,
attracted to her heat
and to her heart,
could not explain it though
...
