YAngeL in Poetry & Free Verse

protect your heart

the heart is impulsive and foolish

the heartstrings are easily tangled

the heart is naive, wants to believe

the heart ends up twisted & mangled

don't trust your heart when it's full

it'll lead you to certain destruction

a passionate heart will lead you astray

don't fall for a heartless seduction

protect your foolish heart selfishly

keep your weak heart safely guarded

to give up your secrets, you give up your power

trusting hearts get used & discarded

think about all the ones you've loved

they've left you in heartbroken pain

in order to love, be ready to bleed

that hurt can drive a person insane

but the traitorous body also has needs

lonely nights you'll yearn for the feel

the warmth of a body pressed against yours

for a passionate moment to steal

so find a warm body with smooth, supple skin

with lips that can kiss to distraction

with hands that feed the pleasures of flesh

Til you leave, smiling sweet satisfaction

moments of passion can draw you in

don't bask in the warm afterglow

get your ass up, get your ass home

don't even wake up here tomorrow

don't rest your head in the curve of a neck

do not cuddle or spoon or snuggle,

don't linger in bed, get dressed instead

deeper feelings lead to nothing but trouble
