LOVE Poem: HEART’S ACHE SONNET, by Kornblum Katz

Should I be flattered that you think I care
Just how and when true lust comes down your pike?
As if to Cupid I could dictate where
His arrows of outrageous fortune strike.

Why do you claim the roses scratched my itch
When it’s your nose that found their scent did please?
That I was won by sweets so full and rich
When those the tongue and guts alone would tease?

You say I should have seen what was to come
Not MY job; fore and hindsight’s on the eyes
You say I should have heard the danger hum
But it’s the ears’ task to perceive the lies.

Today feels empty, future’s clear as mud…
Don’t blame your heart, kid, I just pump your blood.
