Freeverse is just that free verse random poems which I’ve not pigeonholed into some satisfactory category.

Slip of the Hand Beneath the Moon

Her fingers danced
over my ribs
I glanced back

Into those lips
her eyes

Subtle but
Intense

“Call me for conversation, or whatever.”

Would she dance with me
beneath the moon?

Yes
I am
Prideful

I’ve scraped in survival
creating a living

only to lose
everything

bridge still lingers in the hollow shadows of sunset
now and again

Labor is all I’ve known

I’d now like to labor in
happiness

I’ve been abused

Physical

Mental

Emotional

I’ve more than likely reciprocated

I’m O.K.

It’s not my fault
nor is it ‘theirs’

It is our faults
real and imagined
which bring us together
to tear us apart
