It was supposed to be

a picture in the sunset

two hands in public

laughter and silence

hushed voices in

the dark at

nowhere o'clock



you did not want

this bed this light

here in this 

anonymous hotel 

room at 2 oh 4

in the afternoon

with five minutes 

left and that distance

on the sheets



but where you wanted

love you got instead

something easier

where you wanted 

warmth you received

damp dark heat

you needed beauty

you got truth instead

you wanted me

and this is

what you get.

I liked it, it was very, very deep and the description was great. I could see what was happening. I loved how you turned such a simple thing into a great poem, keep writing!

Wow. That was misleadingly good. At first I began reading and thought it was nothing new, but then I got into it and read a few more times and realised it was actually really good. Some of the lines are very good and the run on lines give a good rhythm and pace.

Very beutiful. It flowed very nicely. The subject was a little confusing but I still unterstood it.
