Knut Kargel & Yolantha Harrison-Pace 

Her Nature Is High Nurture
nurturing is
second nature to her
not to care is counter productive
detailing love is her forte
matching socks
rescuing lost library books
meeting end to make family happen
biting the bullet
eating chicken wings
evenly counting raisins
into oatmeal cookies
it is her nature to nurture

The Sensual Woman
sensuality is a
state of being
it never fades
away
it is like joy
sexy is
only merchandise deep
it is like happy...yolanthaism

The Love Game
love
i put that all away
now he's brought
it back out to play
will the rules be the same
or is love now
a new game?

Let Me Get That For You
baybay

he said
get what i said?

he said
but get what i said? There is no that.
well, keep looking out he said
there will be.

Long In The Tooth
winter bleeds into their veins
they were perfect
for each other
a Divine appointment.
let me not appear desperate
he thought
let me not appear needy

3 months passed.
a phone call of delight
he wanted more
she thoroughly enjoyed.
let me not appear desperate
he thought
let me not appear needy
she thought.
3 months passed
a text
a response
a text
a response
another text
another response.

let me not appear needy
she thought
3 more months passed.
i desperately want her to need me
he thought
i desperately need him to want me
she thought
3 more and 3 more and 3 more months
they are old and he is sick.
desperate not to be desperate
needing not to be needy
they die alone
