Brutal romance

Im as gentle as the wind after a hurricane hit

My love is coughed up crimson 

The splatters evidence of my self sacrifice 

My kiss is a twisted promise

My warmth a radiating rage

My joy is an ironic perversion 

My Delicate touch traces incisions 

What feats of delicate assassinations

Will I play with today?

I've lined you up sweetly and discretely 

Murdered what pride is on display 

I move through your envy 

I lick the tears like candy

I sleep through my nightmares 

I love like I fuck,

And you watch every line,

hoping I'm something different 

But I've always been 

Exactly what you wanted 

And never needed most

Bend over again I think I missed a spot.

maybe I got it all

maybe I got it all backwards... but hear me out... when I write,mostly; I talk about love in metaphors... maybe because I was raised to hide my emotions... 

in yours, for some reason I looked at it the other way around... it felt like my life is represented in front of my eyes with a brutal scene(I'd say) of your doing (your writing)… especially the part where you say, 

“My Delicate touch traces incisions 

What feats of delicate assassinations

Will I play with today?

I've lined you up sweetly and discretely 

Murdered what pride is on display “

Kind of reminds me of my reflections to what has happened, what is happening and maybe.. what will keep happening… I keep tracing those incisions…. great piece!

Thank you and Best of luck!

Every line evoked one word in

Every line evoked one word in me: Wow! Disarming in its furious, raw emotion. Jaw-dropping in its ingenious juxtapositions:

 

"I'm as gentle as the wind after a hurricane hit

My love is coughed up crimson"

 

"My Delicate touch traces incisions 

What feats of delicate assassinations"

 

And this relatable blaze of reality: 

 

"And you watch every line,

hoping I'm something different 

But I've always been 

Exactly what you wanted 

And never needed most"

 

A stunner. Amazing.

well done

 

I lick the tears like candy

I sleep through my nightmares

I love like I fuck,

And you watch every line

 

I gotta say, I’m watching every line.

 

I’m enamoured by your words.

 

Well done.

Thank you for your

Thank you for your appreciation of this poem

It is one of those poems that fall onto a page because it clicks into a landscape of its own and draws the insanity of life to the fore while we try and rationalise our way to a pseudo sane understanding of the world in front of our eyes in spite of our minds. Hugss
