Come, I’ll take your hand and go <br />When dark of night blots out the sky <br /> <br />Like a love struck swain bumbling <br />I will lead you to familiar, gaudy burrows <br /> <br />In mired floor cafes still wet with spits <br />Alleys that stalk you like unforgiven wrongs <br /> <br />From feigned conventions and politesse <br />You turned to rudeness that you couldn’t help <br /> <br />I babbled and you waited for me to quiet down <br />And then you took my hand and led me in <br /> <br />Oh heavens, I was not denied, once more <br />Another discomfited tryst of a one night stand.<br /><br />Eddie Roa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heart-break-motel/
