“Life” by Sahm King
If he dared enough,
and if his bones did not
clatter beneath his flesh,
he would pull his heart
from his breast and,
as he died, place it
on a paper plate
so that she could dine
on the weakest part of himself.
She would laugh, though,
haughty and sultry,
the last wisp of languishing smoke
floating through her parted lips,
and she would say he was silly
for thinking she could be moved
by the same pickup line every boy
and girl who stepped across
her path favored her with…
Sometimes,
Life is that kind of bitch…

No Problem !!
Reblogged this on The Ranting Papizilla and commented:
Another excellent poem by the big dog. Check it out.
DUDE! Really, really appreciate the reblog!
Sharing is caring. Have to share the love. You are welcome.
Sharing…is caring… Hmmmm… Indeed. LOL. I need to do more of that, perhaps even follow my own advice. Awesome-sauce.
Life is a cruel mistress, isn’t she? And of course it is a girl.
Yeaaaaah… I thought about not identifying Life as a woman, but the word “bitch” takes on a completely different meaning when referring to a man. Hard part is not to appear is if I’m saying women are…well, bitches, but, it works for my purposes…
Oh wow! Amazing art work. I love it.
Thank you, babe! Thought it was pretty badass myself! >:D
Great job as usual, Sahm, son,
Mother, appreciate you stopping by. Of all the poems I’ve written, you like this one?!?!?!? This would have been the last poem (or next to the last) that I thought you would like. Thank you!
We’re writers. Some we like and some we don’t. I find your writings very interesting, although not my particular taste. However, I do have a “dark side” of my writing self. I am proud of you, son.
Mother, you must know the power of the dark side…pales in comparison to the power of the Arkside. >:D
I see your point. Perhaps I’m skewed in my judgment that, any of another flavor may cringe at the taste of an opposing flavor. Well said, Mother. Very well said.
Nothing compares to the one and only darkside of the arkside
…No, no, no… It’s just Arkside.
