Chocolate covered ferry stops
in the guise of longing for love
Cars lined up in order of color,
drivers hang on railings
reaching for that offered hand
only to find they are pulled into the drink
by the one in the mini skirt
and low cut whispers
attracting the unsuspecting
Red lips smiling at the bodies
crying for help, pleading,
going down for the last time
And she uses going down for inspiration
in her next poetic landing
where more will be waiting for the
ride of...their life

What are waves for anyway?

the waves are a cover for her deception...the men drown in their lust, she so easily manipulates them...

and uses them for poetic inspiration..
reminds me a bit of what i hear of taylor swift...keeps dating and breaking up to get material for writing her songs.
god, do we do that as poets...do we sabotage our relationships in order to feed our poems?
maybe.
