Crimson gloves

by Lenny   Dec 14, 2005


Elegant gloves
Of crimson red
Adorn her
Slender arms

Staring eyes
Of storm-cloud grey
Flaunt her
Latest qualms

Secret diamonds
Of hidden blues
Deposit in
The finest cloth

Lusted earrings
Of gleaming silver
Pierce her
Skin so soft.

    Liked the flow, once again .. especially each stanza's end-line.. to take a stab at it, i'd say it's about you (imagine that :x) .. but it seems like it's about you and your resolve in the face of your qualms, though im not positive as to what they actually are.. the third stanza is the most vague to me, seeming like it's you hiding something - from what, i'm not sure - but
    taking into account your next stanza, i'd say it's about love and lust and maybe you denying these things.. seems like that cuz of the third stanza.. but anyway, all rambling aside - very concise yet deep. i enjoyed picking this apart, even if i was totally wrong about the meaning.. it's definitely good to see you writing differently and trying new stuff out, i'm never disappointed!
