    Merciless

     How sweetly he twists his razor tongue
    It glints like silver in the sun.
    Wherever his kisses fall, blood is drawn.
    Gracious.
    Merciless. 

    Fleetly flying from madness,
    My wing-grown flight is confident.
    Behind me the bathing sun is as keen as light --
    Blinding warmth and soft love
    Stunning.
    Seduction.

    I prefer a casket to lay this love to rest.
    Let the sun bedecked in glory
    Sing soundlessly behind me!
    My rhythm is rising now, as a star
    In a horizon I carved with my hands.

    I too can be gracious.
    Merciless.

    Thank you! This one was very personal. And it took a while to finish it because I needed to express myself just right. :)

    I love the words in this one. I feel like your talking about a vampire or a love that sucks the life out of you on one hand and yet gives a different type of life on the other. Great write, very intriguing........E

    E!!! I love whenever you drop by for a visit. Will be checking your poems later...:)

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
