Picture Poems by Dr Terrell Neuage – Adelaide, Australia

I saw her laughing standing at the bus stop

I asked her for a date

she laughed

We went to a rave she laughed

We went to her cabin at the freeway's end

she laughed

She laughed as we drank wine as we made love as she slept when she awoke in the morning during our shower at breakfast and when I left her at the bus stop where I first picked her up

Now everyday I drive by drive-by-love She is always at the bus stop laughing

in the snow ~ cold ~ rain ~ hail ~ karma

Because I take life so seriously

(I have Saturn and Pluto [both at 13.05 leo] conjunct my Venus, Sun and MH in Leo in a Capricorn house)

I've never stopped to see her again

But I still hear her especially on stormy nights laughing

and though it scares me so I know someday too I will laugh like her

She no longer has the body at the bus stop

Her laughter every full moon tries so desperately to enter me

But as long as I refuse to laugh

I will never become possessed by her.
