Internal Dialogue

By Roman O'Rhory

Internal Dialogue: Poetry About Love and Loss

A provocative poetry anthology that chronicles the inner most thoughts and perspectives about sex, love, death, life, self-esteem and more...

From the poet Roman O’Rhory comes Internal Dialogue, a candid meditation and conversation about modern day and classical issues like romance, one-night stands, suicide, music, military service, social media, youth and overcoming personal turmoil.

In these poems about life, O’Rhory speaks to the heart and mind in a quest for belonging and meaning. Something at we can all relate to, but maybe are sometimes too afraid to discuss and explore with others.

If you are into raw unabashed poetry writing, Internal Dialogue is a open, powerful testament to the questions and mysteries of being alive.
Take a look below to read the following poems for yourself:

Nineteen Crimes (Poem#1)

“I’ve got a confession in mind if you have the time”,
To which you replied,
“I couldn’t ignore you, even if I tried.
Give me your ear- it won’t cost you a dime.”

So I told you about what I like to do in my past time.
But to my surprise your eyes grew wide,
Even though you tried hard to hide it inside.
And you refused to invite me to bedtime.

I don’t know what I did wrong.
Perhaps, I should have sung a song;
Or dressed myself in nothing but a thong.
Then we could have made love all night long.

But fantasies are often best kept in the realm of pantomimes.
Oh, the trouble that comes from confessing nineteen crimes.

Satan’s Pony (Poem #2)

She comes in riding on a horse, painted in black leather.
Appropriate for a girl of her kind it seems;
To tease every man who crosses her path.
Appealing to the idea of his darkest fantasy.
Never willing to see beyond her clever disguise.
Sacrifice so much they will,
Praying that she will be their bride.
Offering their hearts and wallets with reckless abandon.
Neglect is what they’ll feel when she leaves them for another;
Yearning for something they should’ve known they could never have.

Roman O'Rhory

Hello and thanks for reading my bio. I have had a love for writing ever since I was a small child. After writing poems and short stories throughout my childhood and teens, life detoured me and I look an extended break. However, once I had my daughter a few years ago, I was once again inspired to return to my first love, writing. I have never looked back since. I consider myself an observer and student of life and love discussing all sorts of aspects of it. The goal and purpose of my writing is to not only answer questions I have posed to myself; but to touch others by inspiring them to look inside of themselves. And perhaps encourage them to explore those unanswered inquires and mysteries inside their hearts and minds.

Greetings And Salutations

I

Greetings and salutations,

May I ask of you in this most precious hour

A chance to introduce myself?

Not as a simple maiden,

Nor as a clever humorist with a wicked tongue.

But as an unlikely victim.

A victim of whom or what you may ask?

Well, that part, I cannot yet say.

However, it is truly a tale that must be told-

For it is bigger
