Here Just To Be Here

Enjoy my bad poetry.

Suzanne tries

To Remind

There would be something to miss

Turning his back to her blown kiss

With any other level of courage or hurt

He might have taken it for all it's worth

But he had just enough in his blood

To know that her kind of love

 

Lands men face down at river banks

 

He looked at the John Allen Smith tattoo

On her right breast with Berryman's face

Framed with dramatically arched roses

 

Hair brushes down, quick and even cute

Something that could be mistaken for grace

But nothing that stops the door as it closes

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The streets cold

Bruce feels old

But doesn't mind distraction from defeat and depression

He's had since he found he needed anti depressants

He could have sworn it was snowing

If it wasn't coming from a hillside that was glowing

"I knew it couldn't be snowing in San Francisco.

Whatever they lose there will be absorbed whole

 

By my comfort in relying on the weather."

 

A woman in a low cut top pulls his eyes down

Her hand on her cheek keeps a scarf in place

"Seems like this was put here just to be here

 

Building will be built again and burnt around,"

She looks at his eyes, they aren't on her face.

"This is all here to muddy what's easily clear."

 

He looks at the side of her breast

John Allen Smith should be there

It's not somewhere to rest a head

But Suzanne, Suzanne, Suzanne

Suzanne should be here

Very great poem. I liked it. It read more like a story, but was pleasant none the less.
