ronnie's other guy

Frank Prem

 

ronnie loves davey but
she's got a habit
of kissing another guy

 

davey doesn't know
anything about it because
it only happens when
she's drifting
and her mind is painting pictures

 

she's with davey
right until her eyes close
but then she's walking
under a moon somewhere
holding hands
with a guy whose face isn't clear
and she's touching him

 

her feet are making ripples
in the water
when she stands
high up on her toes
and moves her lips to his
in a soft kiss
that isn't davey

 

ronnie loves davey
every minute of the day
she doesn't look at anybody else
but in the darkness
when he touches her
and her eyes go automatic closed
she has a little habit
of kissing another guy

    Just goes to show, Frank, we will never know what is going on inside our partners heads.
    Great poem, well written, amusing, but simultaneously disturbing a bit. Because from now on I will always wonder....

    • Frank Prem

      And if you wonder in the right way, you'll never have a problem, hey? An old piece from early writing days.

    • Michael Edwards

      Frank this a real engaging piece - think I'll save it its that good.

        Thank you Michael. I appreciate you saying so.

          The folly of thinking we really know others around us eh? - a great read Frank.

          • Frank Prem

            Thanks Fay. I thought something a little lighter in tone might be the go, today.

          • Accidental Poet

            And what might she say if questioned of her thoughts? Great write Frank.

            • Frank Prem

              Shh - she will not speak of it. Glad you enjoyed AP. Thank you.

            • Louis Gibbs

              It seems that our unspoken thoughts are all the privacy we have left these days ... thank goodness! Well done write, Frank!

              • Frank Prem

                There will be an APP soon to look into that, Louis ...

                Thank you.
