“When Clean Leads to Dirty”

One Poem in Two Parts,

or Two Poems of Two Hearts...

Because there is no light

without a knight...

(I)

Clean and Dull Life

(as a dull knife)

All was well...

once upon a time.

There was a clean place to dwell,

a dream, a hope,

rosemary, thyme

love beyond the scope.

Thoughts were clear,

needed no cure,

water was pure.

Year after year

all was right and sweet

white and neat.

Although,

pale,

dull,

stale...

all was clean

and there was a Queen...

...longing for a dark Knight...

...

(II)

Dirty as Dirty Can Be...

Twilight...

Windy nightfall,

dirt blowing in the air,

high wall,

brown,

upside down...

Expectation

fantasy

dirty road

no explanation,

only a code:

ecstasy.

Brave move, unusual, keen

from black to white

there came the Knight

chasing the Queen

Dirty thoughts, hungry eyes

sensual walk

filthy lies,

dim light, might

dirty talk

lethal bite.

Mixed up hearts, muddy lives

sweat, messy hair

they didn't care

they smiled, they were wild

nude, in a shinny mood!

Dirty Won!
