Pink fleshy heart (acrostic)

by Melissa   Feb 16, 2006


Pink bubblegum stain, filled with longing
Inside the boundaries of our skin.
Notice it's shape, constantly changing
Keeking at it's ever changing scenery.

Fact says it's oblong in fleshy structure;
Longing for hands to mold a home
Entirely made out of God given love,
Since the blending is no longer adaptable.
Happenstance occurs when shields are melted
Yelping it's okay to come out and play.

Hungry for the eyes of lovers on the street,
Eager for some familiarity of romantic movies.
Artful in bloody design thirsting for holy wine
Rearing it's voice of twentieth century poetry,
Take me, for I'm starting to blend into the scenery.

    I just realized it's an acrostic....lol. That puts it on an entirely different level, I'm so jealous :)

    Outstanding! Your grasp of a subject and the way you relay it is pheunomenal (sp?).
    I adore these lines:

    "Artful in bloody design thirsting for holy wine
    Rearing it's voice of twentieth century poetry"

    You truly are an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your outstanding poetry......Holly

    Shows a truly stunning mastery of language, I love the way you manipulate syntax in order to maintain rhythm without compromising meaning. Really amazing 5/5

    I already knew what an acrostic was =p
    each line works really well
    and i like the words that were spelt out
    very unusual
    that's what i love about your poems
    each one is different
    keep it up =]
