Crown Royal

[Harryd]

I had a conversation
with the stars tonight,
once I was
deep
into my bottle of Crown.

I tried to tell them
about how your
bottomless, carefree eyes
were velvet, I tried
to explain
the perfection of every
single eyelash and the
occaisional
dimple -

"she's so beautiful"
I told them, but they merely
replied that you
were just so many more
riddled cliches'
not worth their time
at all

I told them how your voice
was the burn of
Crown Royal over my tongue,
how the twitch of your hips
sang of lust
- seduction - beauty -

they said it wasn't anything
they hadn't heard before

I tried to explain to them
that you were my Cosmic Girl,
my Lunar baby -
I told them how you
kissed me
and it made everything okay

(most of the time).

It was the "most of the time"
that caught their
attention
actually -
they had been ready to
change the subject
when I said that, and
they wondered at what
I meant;

I groped for words to
tell them
of the pain you
accidentally cause, and make
excuses for -

I struggled to explain
about how you didn't
really
know me
that all we had was
lust and laughter -

The stars were silent
for a minute, and then
they told me...
that, that was all
anyone could ever ask for
in life...

They wouldn't speak to me
for the remainder of the night,
no matter how loudly
I screamed.

Was your interest in writing poetry a sudden result of the breakup? I find it interesting to want to share so much in a public forum full of strangers just out of nowhere, id be more inclined to talk about the poems but if you're not interested in discussing other people's poetry here then you might not really get much engagement, eventually it might look like spam, but you're tagging your work too with your initials, suggesting your not A.I. but interested in developing a 'name' for yourself, so I'd recommend boosting a few other poems in this forum before adding more of your own. Not that there are rules against it here specifically, just wanting to encourage the craft

Im not here any specific reason. I just enjoy writing and it helps me.
Thanks for your input. Sorry if I sound like AI.

I guess I don't understand how writing helps anyone, i need people to read and understand my writing in order to help me with what I'm dealing with, I also mostly just like words for fun, but I figure people want me to read their work to understand them and better help them
Thanks for your input. Sorry if I sound like AI.
I don't actually know what AI sounds like, I don't use it consiously, for all I know you are still AI, what is internet, anyways there's lots of discussion forums here on the subject, no worries!
