as always, I’m amazed

Poison Ivy (Photo credit: wallygrom)

as always
she left me stunned and amazed
lying on a hillside covered in green grass
but not this time of the year
with white lilies waving
but not in reality
and draped in a black blanket
of uncertainty

she had me coughing in my coffin
from my allergic response
to her sexy smoky perfume
and so my eyes watered
which she thought were tears of joy
undiscovered before
and mopped up on the floor
by a dirty old janitor

she left me with an uncomfortable itch
like poison ivy on a tree
something that is under my skin
and deep inside of me
but exposed with boils and blisters
that pop like bubbles
laughing at my misery
