Part 21

A poet who hides in a book is a pussy. 

Before I landed I feared her scent. I prayed I'd fall in love with someone new before I sunk back in her arms. 

The smog on the streets, the lines on the road, the trees and their swing all smelled of her. 

I kept my distance because addictions are best kept on the other side of the world. 

I had become the master pretender. As long as there was an ocean between us I was safe. 

Far from home yet my heart lived in her castle. 

Carolina needed me near, if only to rake my heart. 

Never being a one woman man I slept nights with her and afternoons became revenge sex. 

Enough with these blank brush strokes. 

Carolina poisoned my heart. I would be hers or the sun would set on romance, sex would eclipse my life.  

Voyeur you that devour the veins that I scribe, enjoy my pain. Read on and I will bleed on. 

To be continued.
