Listen for Love

by David J. Avila

I don’t have to circle the world to come back to you
You are my favorite
You are my one & only
I would rather be w/you
Thank any one else
You are all I could ever
hope for
dream for
wish for
& You are not listening
to me
Put the distractions away

In My Hand

by David J. Avila

I have you in my hand
It’s all I ever wanted
Round
Soft
Gorgeous
It tempts me like a snow cone
Rolling
Caressing
Squeezing, harder than I should
In my hand
You are all I ever wanted

Spoonin’

by David J. Avila

I love to spoon
To have you folded neatly in me is heaven
Wrap my arm around you and pull you close
It’s magic time in the morning
Caressing your softness
Breathing in your beauty
There is no where better than us
right now for ever
This is where I fell in love with you
This is why I wanted to marry you

It Stings

by David J. Avila

You ignored my pain
Not that I was in danger of bleeding out
But it really, really stung
& you chose to ignore me
Your damn drawing game was far more important
than my possible bruising
Well, I’ll show you
Now the world of poetry
knows how you want me dead.

Fat

by David J. Avila

You think I’m fat!
I know you do
You rub my stomach in circles and I can almost hear you saying
Fat on
Fat on
Fat on
You’re making me fatter
You feed me fat and salt and sugar and grease and butter and pasta and doughnuts and candy and bacon and butter and alcohol and
it all tastes so good
It’s killing me
You’re killing me!

Bacon W/Green Beans

by David J. Avila

I will eat all of the Green Beans
They have bacon in them
& they taste like steak
with bacon and painted
green
It is unusual that someone
would make them taste
as good as these
They are amazingly good
My goodness that adjective is over used but it applies here
Never the less
They are all mine and you can’t
Have any

I’m Drinking

by David J. Avila

I’m drinking all I can so I don’t have to
face you
I’m drinking all I can so I don’t have to
deal with this
I’m drinking all I can so I don’t have to
look at you
I’m drinking all I can so I don’t have to
speak to you
I’m drinking all I can so I don’t have to
say I’m sorry

Cry Out

by David J. Avila

This world cries out for its rightful master
But the people ignore it.
The prince of this world pushes for its destruction
But reconstruction will come
What is right
What is just
What is coming is a reckoning
no one will survive

Moloch

by David J. Avila

Moloch is a god of sacrifice
My G-D will have none of that
He seeks your obedience
your service
your Love
& it’s hard to do
So many would rather have some one else do it for them
Moloch will accept it
