Mr& Mrs Smith

Paul Bell

That poignant moment when we meet
Like long-lost friends
So discreet
You look good together
Why do you need me
Is he blind
Is it me
We play the game
It’s nothing new
Hotels are full of Smiths 
Like me and you
I should move on 
You should too
You look good together
Him and you
We plan the next
Somewhere new
Mr and Mrs rendezvous
She’s sleeping now
I gaze her naked way
Thinking to myself
Someday
Turning to hide his shame
The woman with his brother's name.

    An intrigue! I had to read it again. Wonderful gift of words, Paul.

    • Paul Bell

      Thanks, Garth.

      Ouch! Forbidden love. Says it all.

      What a poem!. Smacks you in the nuts with a punchline if you have a brother. Works two ways of course, or more if you have several brothers. Again.. Ouch!

      • Paul Bell

        You don't want too many brothers coming after you.

      • Lorna

        Agree with Dusk - didn't see the punchline coming.... interesting look into the man's mind ....

        • Paul Bell

          Always takes two to tango, though one might be low life.

        • kitty the naughty poet

          Wow. What a poem. I love the end line what a way to end it.

          • Paul Bell

            Thanks, Kate, It happens.

            It took me a Moment
            To re read
            Something not normal it’s difficult to accept
            Love may be blind
            But people see it by morality
            So it takes times
            Well crafted
            Something unusual but emerging in news around

            • Paul Bell

              No morals out there now, everything seems to go.

              • spilleronsheet

                Ummmm
                Maybe
                A forbidden love
                Seems to be a new tradition

              • Goldfinch60

                Good words Paul about an illicit liaison.
