Experience

Some men break your heart in two,
Some men fawn and flatter,
Some men never look at you;
And that cleans up the matter.

Dorothy Parker

A Certain Lady

Oh, I can smile for you, and tilt my head,
And drink your rushing words with eager lips,
And paint my mouth for you a fragrant red,
And trace your brows with tutored finger-tips.
When you rehearse your list of loves to me,
Oh, I can laugh and marvel, rapturous-eyed.
And you laugh back, nor can you ever see
The thousand little deaths my heart has died.
And you believe, so well I know my part,
That I am gay as morning, light as snow,
And all the straining things within my heart
You’ll never know.

Oh, I can laugh and listen, when we meet,
And you bring tales of fresh adventurings, —
Of ladies delicately indiscreet,
Of lingering hands, and gently whispered things.
And you are pleased with me, and strive anew
To sing me sagas of your late delights.
Thus do you want me — marveling, gay, and true,
Nor do you see my staring eyes of nights.
And when, in search of novelty, you stray,
Oh, I can kiss you blithely as you go ….
And what goes on, my love, while you’re away,
You’ll never know.

Dorothy Parker

Oh I like that. x

I like it, too, and the Auden, and the Bauderlaire, and the….Wow, this IS a great thread.

Oh so true.

Id be nobody without my man
I try to be the best I can
But I am weak, he makes me strong
So why do I keep going wrong?

Im sad, I know
This is a point in time
I never saw coming, and couldnt plan
My reaction, was too deep
Its shocked me
I will not sleep

I should cry for help
a little bit more
But my infermo
Seems so small

I need to establish
Some normality
Im letting them down
Nowt more sadder, the tears of a clown.

I will delete that in the morn.

let her try now………..
