A Therapy Session For Torturous Romance

by Cooper   Sep 13, 2007


***I really, really did not have a better title. The only way I came up with this one was because I wrote this about love, and while waiting for the school counsellor to come talk to me.
So....the title's crap, but the poem might be...oh, mediocre? Ah...yeah, that's a good word.
Leave a lovely comment :)***

Arteries in the shape of snakes,
venomous,
and crying with me.
The acidic drops of heartache (that are their tears)
burning holes into the sky
painted the most delicate shade of blue;
the virulent reflection of her eyes.

Sleeping upon the cold sun,
a smile of passion,
bloody and cracked,
still the sweetest taste is from your lips.
Like flowers in orchestras of weeds,
singing shards of memorable kisses;
dripping as tears from the corner of my eye,
like metaphorical romance on the vertices of the moon.

In these darkest hours,
I find that time tastes so bitter and sour,
and night is naught,
but a blanket I suffocate child's dreams with.

I'm a filthy decaying butterfly,
and don't even ask why;
every corpse in the dirt has reasons to cry.

Look into my skin,
and drag the knife that is your tongue
up and down my concrete heart.
Maybe you'll cut apart
the repulsive fragrance of my hands;
old and withered like virgin roses...
Is it really a problem if I don't rape my own conscience?

    Wow, you really have a way with words, I admire your ideas and creativity. You always menage to pack all emotions and superb imagery and descriptions in so unique and amazing metaphors. You have great talent for writing poems. I usually don't read love poetry because the most of the love poems on this site are too typical or childish, but this one is mind- blowing, totally original and excellently written.
    Keep up!
    My favorite stanza is:

    -Arteries in the shape of snakes,
    venomous,
    and crying with me.
    The acidic drops of heartache (that are their tears)
    burning holes into the sky
    painted the most delicate shade of blue;
    the virulent reflection of her eyes.-

    5/5 from me
