Masha Danevasha Poems

A tumble into fallen oak leaves
Bear hugs in the anonymous motel rooms
That awful taquila
I'll never forget your gaze -
...

Will you loose all respect
If I was easy catch
Didn't tease or get coy
But skipped straight to home stretch
...

Whos' pride gets hurt
Whos' ego gets burnt
Who's the first to call
the first to crawl
...

That day when you decide that life was all for nothing
When the paint has peeled off oils on your walls
When your friends have left and won’t be returning
Maybe that day you’ll dropp by after all
...

My first heartbreak,
But this is not supposed to be about enduring jealousy
Defeat,
and being too proud to crumble first
...

Wind blowing papers through empty grey streets
Cement maw of an alley is gaped in a shout
Broken glass and spent bullets crunch under my feet
...

The kiss long awaited now tastes of cheap beer
And laughter replaces hurt ego's tears
The tryst is called off under silly pretext
The weight dissipates and lungs takes a full breath
...

Up and up
On shaky feet
Heart is pounding
Too tired to spit
...

First poet in my bohemian menagerie
Diligent follower of the Tao of Steve
You offered me strong hands, hard body
And that liquid, fiery stare
...

These pages could be filled
...
