All Dressed Up In Love

"I look good in love."- Jennifer Hudson

I look good in love.
What color is it? Is it pink or red like Valentine hearts? Does it shine? Does it glow? Does it flow like taffeta? Is it loose-fitting and comfortable? Does it flatter everyone. Does it really hurt to wear? Is it restrictive and binding like a corset? Is it always a gift from others? Or can we give it to ourselves? Do nudists hate or love themselves that much? Can I buy it on sale? May I indulge in the retail therapy they call lust?

I look good in love. Can we accessorize wit ha clutch of a significant other that we hang on to like a Christmas ornament? Does it gloss like the pucker of lipstick? It certainly makes you blush but do you have a strong foundation? Maybe after a long day it can brush me like Mac would. I'll undress when I'm lonely. Or angry. Or sad.

Rescue Me

"Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue.
I need you and your love too.
C'mon and rescue me."-Fontella Bass

How do I escape? Am I mourning?
Is it still love?
How do I know when the end was a fluke?

I want things to be like they.... were?
Like they were when?

When the kisses were still electric?
When I still smiled at the thought of you?
When money was no object or issue?

When things were controllable
And tangible
And nothing was your fault?
When?

I can't remember.
Refresh my memory.
Rescue me.
