Love is neat if you let it...


Poem Artwork

Neat
 
I like my love neat
Hold the icebergs
The glaciers
The icicles
The ice cubes
I want my love neat
Like a cloudless sky
Neat like a full golden fall moon
Neat like a sea of glass
On a windless day
Neat like a seamless sari
Soft and silky smooth
On bare skin
I like my love honest
Neat and sweet and undiluted
Like pure maple sap
Syrupy sweet
I like my love neat
Please hold the cold
And feel my neat love
If you want it

"Neat like a seamless sari

I think you should write a rhyming poem for once. I don't prefer this.

You can be windy as in blowing up a balloon or simply get a tire pump, but the only way you're ever gonna get love "neat" is with one of those blow-up girlie dolls. Hell, Reg, be honest: You can't always be "neat" even with yourself!

And if you've found the secret, then join me in a trip to the library where we'll erase the millions of references that remind us time and again, "If this were a perfect world..."

Now, to be fair, in "Neat" you never said you were gonna get or ever had love that was "neat." You merely said what you liked and what you wanted. So, in that regard, you've spoken for nearly all of us.

We do so love our fantasies. And we can always count on you to give us a great write.

(By the way, the beautiful doll in your photo is really neat.)

Wish this was possible, Regis. Unfortunately, love hurts at times if it's genuine. For me, this poem captures the good intentions we all have going into a relationship. It also carries the hope to not be hurt. I love the imagery in this poem - the smooth lines, like a soft caress. Excellent writing. Love and Hugs,

WOW, Regis! There are many thoughts that pop into my head as I read your highly interesting poem because it brings a new perception to my thinking. I never thought of love or ("love making") as being so focused that one could eliminate all the little quirks (and "daggers") that slip in and out of one's consciousness that is frequently provoked by another in any relationship. Your poem seems to aim at perfection that transcends the human aptitude of imperfection. But what an excellent write--that stirs so much thought inside a reader.
