I Warn You Away
She is extra-terrestrial
on the inside,
a predatory changeling
with powers
forged in the dark side.
She is only capable
of selfish feelings
so her weaknesses
are strange and many,
they are indeed a sticky web.
I have felt the force,
tasted the flame,
survived the nightmare
and now a half-being
I warn you away.

Not My Type
Still she knocked at my door
tormenting the wood with her aggression,
squaring up like a boxer
to the wrong side of the spy hole,
flipping the letter box with her fingers
as if annoyed by it being there.
She usually sat out there for hours,
I telephoned for strippers,
flowers, balloons and food.
Placing my feet into starting blocks
I menaced the hallway, sucking on my gimp mask
and waiting for the door to come alive.
