How To End Love With Shock And Awe Poem by mark king

So hot are the clear pale blue skies
I wipe my brow looking at my estranged love
Is the wind blowing or is it her words?

There is lust in my eyes staring at her
With her full lips begging to be kissed
And remember how the sweat mingled
Between our bodies when we made love

Her words have been bouncing off me
It is just the lust daze I have fallen under
She thinks I’m taking a deep breath to two
But I’m taking in her words it makes me
Strike a curious pose and I get an odd look

Listening to her latest scheme
I inject my standard objections
Making her pause with the evil eye
Her voice leaps to me like a cat
And her smile seems to caress me
With lovely romantic visions

Reality imposes its grip on me
Making me wince for a moment
It is as if I’ve been shaken
By an unseen hand
Looking into her misty eyes
I catch a glimpse of hell within
And silently pray to my savior

I’m about to give in
Giving her my best smile of course
When my lips part issuing profanities
That I have not used for a long time
Her ego has deflated quickly
And it shocks her into nothingness
As her footsteps fade away
I’m in awe at what I’ve finally done
