A #Haibun for Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads–Get Listed: November Edition…#poetry #haiku

Disordered Intent

All those desires you deny in the daylight. The gleam of light off the handcuffs hanging from the headboard, the mutual screams in an empty house, the gnarled sheets.

But how will you escape them during these lengthening nights?

The lure of flesh will have its due. All your resolutions avail you not.

    Wow, Frank. Not sure if this is just an Alice in Wonderland book of poems you took us through, or a house of horrors? Poetry is a nuanced book that takes us into those dark places we normally shine on in the light. Thanks for the link up.

      I surely wouldn’t know: they’re “yours,” dear reader. 😉
