Anniversary Nightmare

Anniversary surprise gone bad!

Calendar screams at him,

darts of you did it again pierce the date.

Anniversary is today!

No time to buy a gift,

improvise he will do.

Pot roast in 500 degree oven.

Dry morsel of bread and butter

is better than fine dining.

 

Flesh is ripped from hand,

rose petals are scatterd

on sheets of forgiveness.

He hopes.

Soft compelling music plays.

Champagne is chilling,

and hot tub of sexual bliss

awaits under sparkling stars.

 

Hallucination of the evening to come

causes his manhood to harden.

Succulent lips and two willing

bodies compress together.

Hot furnance of unsmoldering

love making heats up to passion.

 

Smoke filled lungs

and an alarm of eagerness

brings him back to reality.

 

Door opens and firey eyes

glare as hotheaded wife enters.

Husband kisses pouting lips.

Wife extinguishes his desire.

Anniversary horror floods in.

 

Obstinate wife complains

about rancid brunt smell.

He leads her to their bed

of scented paradise.

Untamed dog with muddy feet

lay on sheets of forgiveness.

He hopes.

 

Romantic evening takes a deviation.

She sips on champagne,

and soaks wounded heart in hot tub.

Dog and husband sleeps on couch

of loneliness,

while beautiful wife sleeps on sheets

of unforgiveness.

This poem is kindof sad to me. The husband did all that for his wife and it seems like she doesnt even appreciate it!!!

[Michael Davis]

As I previously said, these would be very good for the craigslist singles. I'm serious, you might be able to sell some of these.

[Marie Harrison]

Very clever...poor guy.
Should have taken her to dinner!

This was fun and lighthearted to read.

[Kat Collins]

Very creative perspective! I liked it..."Manhood" is one word, though...It's sad that the man worked so hard to please and was rejected. Unforgiveness is a hard subject. Kudos to you for taking up the challenge!

Guess its true you cant blame a man for trying, lol

[Priyankaabhilaashi]

Great imagination...!!!!

[VelvetRosetta]

He did everything at the last minute but at least he remembered, this woman is either ungrateful or has put up with alot in the past, and now he pays for it!
Nicely done!

The more I read this the more beautiful it appears and yet I cannot help but feel your thoughts, feel your need for hope and wish for the love it seems to be yearning in your soul.
