Perfect Ex. (oxymoron) by timpaker(m): 6:04pm On Sep 25, 2014
Perfect Ex. (Oxymoron)

I met her in January
Became her Val in February
And my fantasy about her overflows
By March, she was the long lost-found friend

*******************

She's the goddess in my heart
The one from my figment of fairytale mirage
No! She is real...she was.
>>>>>>>
She was my queen bee
The one that stings my heart
When it jealously goes astray
And I was the love bat
Forbidden by beauty not to see

I once bragged to the earth
To show me someone prettier than her
And I'd display my clean dirt,
Amongst others who is better?

My mum queried and became an enemy
My friends threw advised at me
And were discarded as it ricocheted
My pallid ears

In the world, we became lost
When its just the two of us
Seen together in Eden, home of a blessed curse
Like a stream our love never paused

I was the fire in her eyes
The light in her sky
The truth in all lies
And the laughter in her cry

And then she lavished me with palliative pleasure
When she unveiled the fruit within
The 'Y' linen shielding men's lust, treasure
.....and I shared Adam's plight...

I then realized I wanted something else
I wanted to see the world
I missed it even when I thought
We could break the odds

Everything changed
My heart now despises
What my body loves, You!
How? I don't know. But it does.

The two never seem to agree anymore
You suggested we love once more,
We did but we further went sore
You got angry and threaten to walked out of the door

You were scared of what I'd become
Outside Eden and knew the day would come
When I'd need my pack and blood

You discovered that we are different
Like a fingerprint, we never seem to match
Our embers of love plummets
Then we began loving to hate
Only to realize that we've been a perfect mistake

Perfect, I flowed with this. The opposing words were beautifully juxtaposed.
