Come Now

by e.h. - Libra

so now...
   it has never been my nature
to scream
     to beg 
          or plead

(i am certain you thrive on that)

but hell...

i'll leave that for someone else

as there will always be 
that too

am pondering now
if flattery should
be injected here

a little stroking of
your well inflated ego

as that often seems
to be what works

but i think
to avoid misinterpretation

i'll leave it at this...

your words are the reason
i keep coming back to here
they belong somewhere...

somewhere else
a better site...
between a cover...
or to be spewed forth off a stage...

but here
this is the only place
i can find them

and today...
i have plowed through
kerouac...bukowski...
all of the greats.

but you...
you still remain

so i am here
asking for nothing
but a few words

if you would...
please.
