Surrender To My All

by Poet on the Piano   Aug 6, 2009


Her sapphire eyes
-utterly defenseless-
are penetrated with
vigorous fantasies.

Her scorched lips
-carelessly split-
are drenched with
perfumed liquids.

Her withered hands
-cleverly handled-
are nurtured with
ardent kisses.

Her manipulated thoughts
-fully perilous-
are spiked with
deadly sins.

    "Her sapphire eyes
    -utterly defenseless-
    are penetrated with
    vigorous fantasies."

    ^^I love this opening, so dark and really sets the tone for the piece, while the imagery is beautifully created.

    "Her scorched lips
    -carelessly split-
    are drenched with
    perfumed liquids."

    ^^The imagery you manage to crate within so few words is truly remarkable, it's like I can -see- everything that you're describing. However, I don't think you need "her " in the first line.

    "Her withered hands
    -cleverly handled-
    are nurtured with
    ardent kisses."

    ^^The wording here is frikken fabolous! (sp?) I'm really enjoying this and finding it to become better and better as it goes along.
    "Her manipulated thoughts
    -fully perilous-
    are spiked with
    deadly sins. "

    ^^What a truly beautiful ending, the depth and meaning here is incredible, and certainly hits the reader with a bang.

    To say this was a relataively short write, you did an amazing job with it!

    Not long, a little cryptic, sensual, dark, and very cleverly written around the theme.
    I like the rhythm and the style and the consistency of each stanza. the description throughou is paramount and very well done.

    good luck!

    MaryAnne,

    This is a poem about a woman posessed by evil. I know you meant it to be a scary poem, because you posted it here, but to me it is a sad one.
    I have met people like that, often they became that way after playing the Ouija ( I don't know if I spelled it right) board, because when you do that, the evil spirits can find a way into your head.

    It's beautifully written, but because of the thoughts it brings to mind, it is an extremely sad poem to me!

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid

    'Her sapphire eyes'
    `I liked sapphire, it wasnt boring but rather a better word than blue or something

    'vigorous fantasies.'
    `Great word choice, very dark

    '-carelessly split-'
    `I didnt really like the usage of carelessly, I understand your meaning of this line but I dont think it was the best word

    'Her withered hands
    -cleverly handled-
    are nurtured with
    ardent kisses.'
    `I like your form its great and consistant, a good stanza, at first I thought it was kind of cliche but reading it a second time I loved the way you worded it all

    'are spiked with
    deadly sins.'
    `Very strong ending, something Ive never heard of.

    A great write. Its nice to see you blossoming as a poet and trying new things.
