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.

I hate it when that happens!
Great, but sad, story. Nice writing

[Wolf's Dark Song]

When things go wrong they really go wrong! That last line says it all, a very sad and tragic situation.

[Poetic Beauty]

Sheets of unforgiveness are heart breaking. I know this feeling all too well but alas sometimes no how hard someone tries the other just can't find their way back to how things were. Visions become clouded and mind consumed with how things should be instead of living freely and moving forward.

[Tina Kline]

A very realistic story of how things can go wrong. I hope she forgives him soon, he did try. You did a great job on this.

[Brad]

hahahaha...sometimes, last minute improvise can have outstanding results in a situation like that

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

Beautiful imagery, well done :)

[Coyote Poetry]

A sad ending for the poor husband. A good roast need 325 degrees and wrapped in foil. keep the juice in. Most of us men have done the bad deeds of forgetting important days. Thank you for fun poem to read. A excellent poem.

Extremely sensitive and emotional tryst. Wonderful write!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This poem had almost every emotion in it. I enjoyed envisioning him make a total mess in the kitchen. What a FAIL. lol. It was sad to see the tension pushing these two apart in the end.
