a tango of two shot glasses in the moonlight (or dangerous liasons)

a tango of two shot glasses in the moonlight (or dangerous liaisons)

 

 

splayed emphasis

heart's affliction

split affection

the mirror sees both ways

 

and i love both of you

when the reflection

feels just right.

Dummy me, it is two potential ,lovers, perhaps? Oh well!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

funny, that was actually what i was pondering when i wrote it...split affections.

thank you for reading and for your insights, Roxie...

Hmmm. the woman or another drink? This is a very interesting dilemma, almost like honey versus vinegar, perhaps that is too harsh...honey pots are choice, but oblivion offers escape. LOL! If, I have read this all wrong, please excuse me. Often, my reviews are too revealing, I guess that is the chance we all take in life; revealing our true-selves, fearlessly.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

nothing wrong with revealing...and as far as reading it wrong...i teach poetry in my lit classes and the first rule is: there is no right or wrong when interpreting poetry...once the poet lets it go and allows readers to read the work, it belongs to the reader...and i always tell them not to try to figure out what the poet was thinking when he or she wrote the poem, but rather what he or she the reader is thinking when reading it...

i like to see how different poems speak to individuals...

i like your interpretations, both of them.

i think the everyone has a side that even the closest, most trusted lover cannot see....

until, that is, that side comes out once inhibitions are lowered....

nice write.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

You got let me know what bar you hang about and keep a barstool next to, free for me. Image rich brevity at its best.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Shinsei...

it's the open stool next to the guy whose head is on the bar, and he is sleeping it off while he's drinking...ha ha...

thanks for your kind words.

Seems like two sides of the same coin after one too many. Cryptic clever write too clever for me.

[MOON]

[jacob erin-cilberto]
