a lurking sleaze

I feel your eyes on me
I know you watch,
all the time

accidental becomes
a purpose repeatedly
falling to fate,
and the traveling
hands of a salesman

bending dimensions
to sell a extravaganza,
I have no wish to sample
but you take advantage
of every single moment

when my guards
let down and no ones around
you slip from under
the rock, where you hide
from the light

I see through your mask
to the little boy eying candy
he'll never taste

you are always contriving
to wheedle your way
round my finger

I worry that I might
have to break all yours,
to get my meaning through

fuck off

Please

Dear Jayne

What a terrible feeling to have of someone watching your every move. I do hope that this is a work of fiction coming from that wondrous imagination of yours. If not you should report this person or persons to the AEC. You don't have to deal with it alone. Very good poem, though. I found these lines to be especially potent: you are always contriving to wheedle your way round my finger I worry that I might have to break all yours, to get my meaning through Love, Cat

Hopefully this is you

Hopefully this is you noticing yourself. And not some crazed lurker, or are we one and the same in this context? Love, Mu "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ A Course In Miracles

While ur breaking his

While ur breaking his fingers... I've got this new baseball bat.... the knees of a lurker would make a fine first notch.. If you'll have me aboard, captain. ♣ P.s 5 stars and two thumbs up for the mere letters that you have molded into gold.

Dear Mona

Next to meditation I think that writing is very cathartic you get all the ugly out in words and it makes you feel so much better ... I look forward to reading what you come up with Mona love and hugs Jayne-Chloe (http://www.neopoet.com/forum/36627-meet-n-greet-live-chat-thurs-apr-15th-9-11-pm-ny-est-host-poewriter58-welcome-new-member#comment-175177) ...

Killer's got his ticket...

He can be there tonight, do the job, and be back for culinary class in the morning. At least you are aware of his attention, and will stay clear of him. I'm guessing that he is will get the message here. Keep the dogs close. Hopefully, he will back off, and not have to get Snakebite. Oh, I haven't said how good your poem was, It was awesome! Higgest bugs, and lotta love, ~ Gee

fantastic!

Jay-Cee! What a great write! I loved it- and especially the part "I worry that I might have to break all yours, to get my meaning through" I recognized myself in it, and thought you did a great job at getting your message through loud and clear! haha the only thing i would possibly change would be "a extravaganza" to "an extravaganza"? m
