Well since you asked so nicely, I'll get 10 books and pass them out to people. Very impressive having your book published.

I'll post some of my ass poems shortly.

I wrote this for a very, very special Lady on Lit.

"She did have the key to my heart"

I had closed the door upon my heart
And wouldn't let anyone in
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
But, that would never happen again

I had locked the door and tossed the key
As hard, and as far as I could
Love would never enter there again
My heart was closed for good

Then you came into my life
And made me change my mind
Just when I thought that tiny key
was impossible to find

That's when you held out your hand
And proved to me I was wrong
Inside your palm was the key to my heart
You had it all along


I just finished this poem

"It's so hard to say"

Its hard to say i love you
Because it was twice you broke my heart
Its hard to say i trust you
Because you promised that we will never part

Its hard to say i miss you
Because these tears will still come at night
Its hard to say i hate you
Because its not worth it anymore to fight

Its hard to say I'll wait for you
Because no tears will ease this pain
Its hard to say come back to me
Because all roads lead to her even if its shallow lanes
Its hard to say i was wrong
Because blaming myself wont make me strong


This one surprisingly won the editors choice award. I felt honored.

"A special world"

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in it's cocoon
And hold us fiercely in it's womb

It's fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in it's wake
To hold us close and keep us strong
In a special world where we belong


I also have written erotic poetry, If you'd like to read more let me know.

Congratulations Curt on this publication. I'll agree with the others in this thread and say that your work deserves publication--it has been a pleasure to read your stuff lo these many years we've all been here. I feel like I've watched your growth as a poet explode. You write some of the best metaphors I've seen here, which gives your poems so much power and immediacy for me. May they all find homes in books and journals.
