love visits from another planet

Love visits from another planet

talks in a language I can’t understand

knocks me flat, throws me on my back

in seconds.

Love visits from another planet.

 

Love visits from another planet

with quiet voice, subtle demands

kills me right, every night then

I'm abandoned.

Love visits from another planet.

 

Love visits from another planet

is silent, never speaks his name

is never kind or tender only harsh

plays a game.

Love visits from another planet.

 

Love visits from another planet

tendrils underneath my door

but I don’t want this visitation

anymore.

Love visits from another planet.

Ann, you are quite right to stop those tendrils curling under your door. Your emotional life is far too valuable to waste on wasters. As for the poetry fairy, she is on holiday and hopes you will be extra kind to yourself while she is gone. She needed a break maybe?

I like the idea of this, Ann, wish I'd thought of something similar! I like your poem too, inspirational... :) xx
