valentine’s day

February 8, 2009

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I’m listless
All signs point to chocolate hearts and lust terribly encrypted
Reservations with reservation with the annual prince
And fifteen makes him a frog again with no hope for recompense
Sugared glossing from unintended and latex filled with air
Or latex filled with heat and for once he’ll take you there
Take you there and leave you where once again you have been fooled
Once upon a time now has no ending while your thread it has no spool
Confections are not affection and perhaps crimson is just a clot
Perhaps Cupid is the victim and it he who has just been shot
His blood won’t coagulate and so his shooting arm may rot
One billion get well cards to wish him well or wish him not
Perchance to dream, perchance to stop
The door is locked
And still you knock
What is this plot?
Who has you blocked?
Roll the rock
Still breathing?
Stop.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas but don’t miss this
Commercial lust is not love at all but the masses have it twisted.

AND… here’s a great article by Roland Martin that says it better.

  1. “Reservations with reservation with the annual prince”

    you are a prince every day and every year my dear. xoxox

  2. I remember when you posted this on your myspace page. I liked it then and I like it now. Maybe because I relate.

    Peace and Love,
    meek

  3. I know, I know…Valentine’s Day… a fool’s holiday… cheesy and commercial…
    but this girlie loves chocolate, flowers and romance…even fake romance.

    and latex filled with heat that takes you there…well…umm…yeah.

  4. …but it’s “sugared glossing from unintended”

  5. But when he’s coming at you with those cute boxers with the hearts on them…
    well…umm…yeah.

    No, no i’m kidding.

    “Take you there and leave you where once again you have been fooled”

    Both men and women must be careful wtih their hearts because so often the “intended” has glossed up the feelings and emotion and created this illusion that only leads to disappointment in the end. And truly one day of fake romance doesn’t cover a lack of genuine love and affection and care throughout the whole year.

  6. You know, I had to laugh when I read this because,
    the first time I heard this I was in a different place and now….well I’m totally with you!
    It’s funny how time and circumstances change perception.

    Eterne,
    “Both men and women must be careful wtih their hearts because so often the “intended” has glossed up the feelings and emotion and created this illusion that only leads to disappointment in the end”
    Yes, yes! soooo true!

  7. Or latex filled with heat and for once he’ll take you there
    Take you there and leave you where once again you have been fooled……
    Lust,Love and Latex

  8. Why did you have to kill Cupid, Kenn.
    The man’s trying to do a job,
    why’s he gotta get shot.
    Kenn Killed Cupid say it isn’t so! :)
