Savage Beauty

Savage Beauty

A Poem by Elaenor Aisling
"

I watched you in your savage beauty...

"
I watched you in your savage beauty
wild and untamed
You sprang from here to there to here
your garments rent
in splays of silk
trailing like wings behind you. 
Your talon hands
they grabbed for mine
digging in deep and drawing blood. 
I was no longer watching you
I was with you,
in this savage beauty.
Ignored pain drove through my hand
as you guided me through
your dance macabre. 
How I loved you as I bled
my hands about your waist 
You kissed me with the kiss of death 
And dead you fell within my arms
My deadly, lovely, savage thing
with splays of silk 
enveloping you.

Nature, Lust, and plenty of visual images for the reader to loose there mind in and something that as a flow of another kind of genera the author may not have intended.

"you sprang from here to there" legitamated the poem. it was strong and the reader could really "see" the poem after that.

you have experience, you are not reaching but have the words right where you want them. I like that. the poem has no added words, because as you know it is the control of the "direct pointing" that needs to come out.

it isn't the subject matter, since everyone writes of the relativly few subjects we all write about, it is in the rediscovery and the "new" in things.

well sorry for my pontifacatory bullshit. i just liked it. and i am turning over this new leaf, where i actually do criticism instead of saying good poem good poem all the damned time...bye, kmartell

this old man is still writing. imagine
