ROYALTY AND A CHILD

Reclining on a bed
purring for Brie
at 2 a.m.
the Queen of Sheba
informs me
she was BORN to be spoiled
but there are some things
she just won't do
unless I pour her
another glass of wine
so I supplicate her whims
to lose myself
in the mystery
that indulgence
sets free
only to find
real magic
comes after sunrise
watching her
wrapped in a cocoon of blankets
like a little girl
with an unconscious smile
which slips away
when she opens her eyes
and nervously says
not to look
before she gets up
to walk to the bathroom.

Hey, Poet this is brilliant, wonderful laid back poetry. I think the way you read your poems suits the style so well. I guess your poetry reminds me of Charles Bukowski, who is one of my favourite writers. I have only been writing for one year and have a mountain to climb but I think that reading your work will be a help.

Thanks for posting this.

Regards, Peter

nordicksy: Only a year? You gotta be kidding me. You must have started when I first got on youtube as DavidKabuki - and when I saw your videos I thought, "Oh, well this is the work of seasoned pro." ANYONE READING THIS CHECK OUT NORDICSKY's channel - GREAT STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

actually you are quite a smug looking bastard, what are you so smug about? I still think the poem is adorable!

Lovely.

It's great every now and then finding one of your poems as I travel the Tube.

a first night togther, then yes...wine and hide your eyes in the morning. but after 4-5 months?  this girl was hiding from herself. maybe still is. nonetheless, a truly beautiful poem -- and maybe one of your most personally revaling? -- with great insight into why men still can love women, even after all the cunts recently spawned and sent to castrate us.

I was really interested and hooked. I probably can't understand the feelings completely, but I can appreciate a GREAT piece of work when I see it! I am reall fond of this piece!

That's IT! I can't take all the procrastination! David, why aren't you required reading at my university's intro to lit class?!! You NEED TO BE PUBLISHED ALREADY! I really dig your shit, man.

I love this one, David. I intended to click 5*, but my finger slipped on the mouse! I hope that counts, nevertheless. Great work, indeed.

WOW! I'm hooked. How shall I get anything done tonight for this new discovery? You my dear have brought shame upon my household, for now the dishes sit unwashed, the laundry in a crumpled heap still warm in it's basket, and the crumbs on the floor - at least the mice shall have a feast tonight! but I shall look a mess at work with my wrinkled socks... dishonor and shame, thank you! :)
