I’m beginning a new feature, starting this month.. I’ll be posting poems from the past that I haven’t posted here yet. It’s interesting to go back and see where I’ve come from, how far I have changed, or none of the above! So.. with that said… “Unflinchingly” was written on August 10, 2016, in my Poetry Book for July-September 2016, entitled ‘Random Thoughts and What Nots.” Five years ago today. Seems like a lovely little thing. I think it was around the time I met my last ex. Yes, that ex. (lol) Enjoy!
“Unflinchingly,”
by Brian Bolding
In the waking hour
The smell of pancakes
And underarm hair
Musty little jiggles
A cream filled bed
Looking gazingly out at the stars
I rub my hands on your head
Kiss your face, such a pretty face
I want to look at you
Forever, Anytime, Anyplace
I’ll try not to compare
You are a fresh chapter
In a very thin new book
I just want you to stay after
You’ve had a better look.
