Duplicity
Forgive me, but
I am far too tired
to make love
tonight, or even
contemplate
a single part of it ..
However,
I have no objection
whatsoever,
should you wish
to spend the night
in one of our many
spare bedrooms ..
Either on your own
that is,
or with the lover
I saw you
sharing coffee with ..
In what I once,
thought at least
to be, our very own
special rendezvous ..

A fine write N. I always says to KP that I have a headache! lol.
my word, you do have a 🐝in ya tail again this mane .. I bet she say's .. you are, a headache darling 🐭
If I've not got a headache, I hardly recognise her with the botox. heehee.
Wording the end of a failing affair couldn't be better penned dear Nev. - -- gentle but telling this outing of truth. - -- - methinks concealment stirs feelings too deep for more intimacy after discovering any
intention to mislead .......x
I have made it part of my personal mission statement to always say it as is .. many thanks mistress F ... N x
Oh wow. Cheating's never fine. As for duplicity, that's best left to duplicating machines, but never replicating such sordid behaviours.
I have repeatedly noted the purported fact no member of MPS has ever behaved in such an abhorrent manner .. seems my cult has been reduced somewhat in number and its membership consists of only me
I love it, don't know any other way to say it, I really like the title as well....x
yes, you are very norty indeed ma'am .. thank you x
And he replied, "We were just having coffee." And she replied, " Yes, but with a lot of sugar on the side."
And 'Duplicity" rhymes with stupidity. Never revisit where you've been with another.
This poem is aptly titled for the title itself is duplicitous. I can't imagine one caught this outright, would ever be allowed to stay. You have given fair warning to those that consider love to be a game. Your poem is one of the hard lessons of life. Its realistic presentation, her vengeful attitude, and his silence, show where the moral high point lies. Loved it. - Phil A.
I love the fact you keep coming back for more my friend thanks a million .. Neville
Ouch! Why is it that the sound of the word "duplicity" seems somewhat benign, it rhymes beautifully with felicity and domesticity. And yet there is its sinister side that can bring volatility and hostility. It is a duplicitous word that you have done justice to dear friend. Good write!
Gadzooks & oddsbodikins ma'am, that will surely do nicely 🙂
yeah...
in the past, my partner left her phone with me
so I can help her get something fixed
every night, around 1 am
some fool, would call her number
and detail their encounters
I simply posted back her phone
never said a word to her after
years later, we met
she thought I had found someone else
and dumped her...
(perspective, warps
which end of that duplicity
we find, looking back at us)
or it may just be me n my horrid luck...
lol
(such a relatable write, Hyung)
I would say snap .. but you clearly mended & fully .. cheers Mek 🙂
