Blood white rose

by M Colella   Jan 15, 2011


Blue eyes stop me in my tracks,
I'm caught in a spell of animation
yet time stands still. No warmth
in the smile that spread wide on a
handsome face seemingly etched in
stone

Fear ran through my veins, blood
to ice, warmth to glacier cold.
With a soft hand tracing my face,
his finger whispers gently
across my lips searing the skin.

Intense confusion whirl about
collecting emotions, mixing,
blending, twisting relentlessly.
Braiding fantasy with reality,
danger with desire.

Transported if by magic I awake
in my own bed relieved it was but
a nightmare. On my pillow lays
a white rose, decorated with drops
of blood and a note see you in your
dreams

    I love the descriptors and verbage. The poem definitely has feeling versus just being plain. As far as criticism goes, i think you may be teetering on the verge of a story vs poem as I often do. Also, I would find a way to delineate what was written on the note and what is your text. Maybe like this: ... note, "See you in your dreams" Very good read!
