5th October 2024




morning sunshine

though it may be shitty later

a single kiss is all it took to fell

the mighty and aloof, infection free

and self-proclaimed artistic poet. Tell

the world of how unbound I came to be

since my lips had touched the fateful fruit. All

you wanted was some isolated touch;

a pairing of such flesh so far to fall

but never did you ever ask do much

as what I gave, and now I've given more

of health and self; a sacrifice, I swear

that means so little in the life I bore

and yet is now a burden I can bear.

An end to solitary life I seek

but stay confined I must; at least a week.
