Loser
A love poem
Seeing her radiant face for the very first time on the other side of the party room he immediately wondered what their inevitable breakup would be like
He gave no thought to the first words he would say to her and this created the awkward moment that let him slip in the door
He left her guessing what he really wanted to say instead she only heard what he said next
He told her that he was sorry for what he would eventually do but he could never do it until after they fell in love
She followed him to the balcony where he sang to the moon then he threw his hat and cummerbund to the ground below
Soon the wolves were howling and the owls screeched in response the bats all left their caves and all the electric lights flickered
As the ships upon the calm sea were hit by the tidal wave so, too, did her heart skip a beat
She shuddered in delight a sound ushered from her mouth that was both a giggle and a moan her quivering movement woke the birds upon the continent of his desire
Like an earthquake or an eclipse the moment stopped then passed after seeing her across that room he never saw her again except when he closed his eyes
