don`t mind if I do(Arnold Melleby, 01.17.2024)

doors open

doors close

in spite of the fact

some say

a wall is just another door

you go through in life


you say

care for a coffee

at a nearby cafè

I say

don`t mind if I do


the chat went on

coffee turned to wine

leaving the sheets of my bed

screaming for air

but it just wouldn`t be fair

to stop in time

to let the beast out of the room


you say

care for a wild ride

on my Harley

I say

don`t mind if I do


tight black leather

shades to match

smiling in my direction

as you pick me up

air cooled engine revving

between your legs

screaming for more of, everything


you say

care to sell me your soul

I`ll pay you with forever

I say

don`t mind if I do


bought, sold and paid for

is what I am

do you remember

what I was like before, then

do you remember

or has the hunger left you

looking for someone else


so I say

can I have a raincheck

the winds have changed and the sky is dark

you say

don`t mind if you do
