Hearts and flowers and shit

(Valentines poem 2010)


A saying someone told to me,

these days when even love is tough,

“if you love somebody, set them free...” –

give them a false sense of security

then when they come back to you,

tie them up and ,

like,

do stuff.

You know, like...

stuff.

A look at Valentines day from a strange angle this Dermot. Looks different doesnt it. Not for traditionalists but strangely interesting. Win

Bedpost is the term I generally prefer to tie myself to in that regard.

This made me laugh.
That one line ''give them a false sense of security'' changes the whole theme of romantic love to one of possessive love or dominatrix, whichever term you prefer to tie yourself to. :-)

Like what??? Will you be reading this shit out at the Tudor Dermot? I'm looking forward to your take on the valentine theme - it promises to be entertaining and very different to what I will be reading...
