Love as I know it

Share my bed and not my dreams?
Share my laughter and not my tears?
Take in your selfish obsession,
Every bit of me that was mine
Call me your friend/ your whore,
Feed my soul to your new cats,
Throw away my desperate poems,
Just leave me, and walk away,
If you turn to me one last time,
Cursed is my happiness forever.

Lady Shaver

The razor drags menacingly
Up my compliant thigh,
Drawing bloody drops
Some gentle patriarch
Is whispering to me:
Soft and hairless-
Is a woman's body
Meek and submissive-
Her nurturing spirit.
Lie down and surrender
The curvitude, the dreams.
