Being selfish on a Sunday morning …


My poems are more often
selfish articulations
                        of my weltschmerz

people say a man should be leonine
hiding emotions cause that’s feminine

But I’m a human not a lion
            I have frustrations
                        and I can be fierce

l can act as a shameless lion in bed              
with no fear of having feelings spread
