Bad Beau

"The lover sees in the glance of his beloved the same beauty that in the sunset paints the western skies." - Thoreau

She came into my life like a Mack truck.

It was just my luck.

Reigning queen.

Nightmare of heart's dream.

Gentle as a pit bull.

Lovable as a rottweiler.

She runs cold.

Then hot.

Everything that I'm not.

Fickle.

 Like a sweet and sour pickle.

I can never figure her out.

She makes even the hills shout.

Wetting me with her sex.

I wear a look that's perplexed.

I feel like a liar.

Standing next to her fire.

The object of her desire.

Stuck in muck and mire.

Blazing in a funeral pyre.

T.N.T.

Consuming me.

A rubik's cube with no two cells the same color.

Never quite aligning.

An impossible jigsaw puzzle.

Trying to nuzzle.

In need of a muzzle.

A complicated history.

Shrouded by mystery.

A heavy load.

Waiting to explode.

Whoa.

 It's all good though ...

... cuz I'm her bad beau ...

Author's Note

"The maiden conceals a fairer flower and sweeter fruit than any calyx in the field; and, if she goes with averted face, confiding in her purity and high resolves, she will make the heavens retrospective, and all nature humbly confess its queen." - Thoreau

oh my! a consuming conflagration ..a rap rhyme and rhythm ... i feel the conflict and passions .. well done .. love Hendrix ... though Miss Strange was never a favorite of mine ..it certainly applies .. as does Fire ;) i am grateful for the more calming influence of the Thoreau quotes ... at my age when a Mack comes rolling down the road i get the hell out of the way ;) very emotive poem Pete .. totally can relate

One of my favorites of yours that I've read so far! This one is nicely snappy & playful & well-balanced. I love that ambivalent feeling thru-out where one can't tell if this is fond remembrance or rueful regret. Interesting rhymes & turns of phrase in a more relaxed way than is your usual, so I like it being a little less crafted (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

the best stuff comes straight from the gut when least expected. never know when. overthinking just clouds things. raw sugar in the rough is the best. pour out the heart and see what spills out - this one a fast percolate. thanks Margie ... :)

Sometimes I have to forcefully stop myself from over-manicuring! *wink! wink!*

This reads like a swinging pendulum on hot and cold love. Nice work Pete
