Teflon Heart

Writing and vodka creates interesting introspection..

Her softest symmetry
Speaks to my manliness
In a heavenly tongue
But those sensual sighs
Don’t drown her hearts cries
For something deeper.
 
Smooth tasting words reach her
Feminine core
And choosing to ignore
The kaleidoscope of previous pain
She indulges in the excitement of....
 
What if..
 
I tried to protect her heart
With a firm grip
But it slipped
Unintentionally
And was stepped on
 
Damn Teflon
 
You should’ve been Ms. Right
I wish we could take that flight
Like this eagle tattooed on my arm
Remained tight
On that forever s**t
But eternal bliss
Was not in the manuscript
 
This Teflon heart of mine…

Untainted by accidental heartbreaks

Heartache remains elusive

As I made her my selection

Silently prayed

She scratched the surface

Of aged protection.

Beautifully..
We danced in the flames
Creating the sweetest flavors
Yet, when we’re through
No emotional residue
Just hedonic trembles
And an untitled creation
Undefined by quality time
Or smiles and secrets surrendered
I render a hypothesis of my condition

In just two words
It's possible... I may just have..

Commitment Issues

As simple as cause and effect and the chain reaction because of. “silently prayed she scratched the surface of aged protection”.....to expiate one's crimes (Teflon).

This is a fantastic Poetry Slam/Spoken Word piece! I like how it's put on paper as I detect that your preparation was done another way. Totally feel this! "...Heartache remains elusive..."

lol...no criticism here, this flowed so well and the writing was punchy and full of brutally spoken desire, the last line adding a bit of humor. Great job, I liked it.
