Sculpted

by Inside the Liar   Jun 4, 2009


Sculpt me to your advantage.
Under the influence of your adroit hands,
I will falter
and become whatever you wish me to be.

Break me down; crush me.
Under you,
under your power
and the pressure to be
someone that you
could grow to care about.

Rip away my old life.
Shred it; hide it; throw it away.
Cure me of the 'used-to-be.'
Bring me into the now.

I will remain - unformed.
Until such a time when you
deign to indulge me.
To create me in your image;
make me your ideal.

I will remain - lifeless.
While you fashion me a heart
that beats solely for you.
A mind that knows only you.

Mold me under your hands.
Shape my body into a landscape.
Breathe into me and make my
blood sing with weakness and wanting
you.

Attach the strings of life to me.
Tie the knots tightly
so they don't break loose;
so they won't rebel against
the hands that keep them
moving.

I'll be your puppet.
You'll be my master.
With hands that make
all my nerves come alive.

Right now I'm formless,
laying in your arms.
Just force me into what you think I am
and watch me transform
into the type of woman
you've only known in your dreams.

This could be all you ever wanted
handed to you on a platter.
All you have to do is reach out
and take it.

So why do you stand there,
unmoving; struck dumb?

    This was a wonderful poem with great emotion in it and it is one of the best I've read. This poem first off was great in the aspect of the flow because you kept it consistent through the entire thing and that brings me to the structure which was good and was done seemingly perfect. Then the imagery in this poem was also really good. you could almost see someone molding in front of your eyes as you read it and could feel what the sculptor felt. This was really a great poem that gave good description about what was being done and it ended up as a great work of greatness. Then to say it all was the ending which surprised me that the person was just doing nothing and yet you wanted him to do whatever and yet he did nothing. Great ending, Good job with this poem and continue the great work. -Jad
