My feelings are conjoined twins
connected in the pelvic region,
prone to frequently unhinge,
the angel and the heathen.
My emotions are strings split,
a ripped cradle of a corset forgets
when to suck in and when to quit,
loosen and tighten, a fickle faucet.
Somewhere in the middle
I always give in,
find a reason to bend:
the lacy dress, a crinkly mess,
my latest guest, a big conquest,
braless bravado, backside aficionado
the short buzz of a lousy win.
My libido is my linchpin,
hands resist lacy nets
but the legs always open,
two siamese silhouettes.
Nothing’s worth the risk of surgery;
I’ll keep my conjoined personality.

Many thanks. This one could probably still use some sandpaper, but it was a fun write.

As John said, fantastic imagery and lovely rhythm and flow. Sure, apply sandpaper if you think it needs it, but I call it a winner!

It was sexy, but lightened with some lovely self deprecating humour. Loved it. 🙂👍

The meter and rhythm is wonderful, as is the ‘hammering’ rhymes in the 3rd stanza. Nice work.

Thank you, Misky. I did pit an ear to this own so I’m so glad the cadence was pleasing.

I’m with everyone else, highly in favor of the whole piece, sandpapered or not; and especially in agreement with Misky on highest praise for Stanza 3… Salute!
