Sweet Nothings

tangled
In the post coital haze
when you’re fuzzy warm inside
Do you pour sweet nothings
into receptive ears?
What fragrant lies
escape your honeyed lips?
What sugar coated deceptions
slip between the sheets?
And in the morning light
do you cultivate a little distance?
Do you feign casual indifference
amidst stilted words and gestures?
Or do you simply simulate amnesia
with deliberate and practised poise?

    1. Thank you Martin - I imagine this piece to reflect the feelings of many men and women who crave the intimacy of human relations, but fear the commitment.
