Napalm Romance

she wears
war flowers
in her locks
daisy chain wreaths
of high velocity splatter
grey matter stained petals
wilting at atomic touch
his scorched earth kiss
fuels the drought
in her throat

Parched she chases
the gun metal fireflies
at his crushed temple
drawing closer to drowning
on his tongue whetting her
barren mouth

The aggressor nourishes
his pale cadaver
feeding her the spoils of invasion
holocaust ash munitions
like a dandelion wish
blown on assassin's breath

Picking through the carnage
clawing at his armored chest
bullet wound warmth
refuge~ prison~ death
in freedom's mask

His hollow point skull
in her demolished fingers
nerve memory recalling
unspoilt features
the hidden vulnerability
now blown open
in a napalm romance

i would like to thank your ignorant followers for their very generous critique on my poem which you shamelessly plaigiarised word for word.

i'm not sure what kind of satisfaction you get from receiving attention for stealing other's words, emotions and their self-searching...

kindly delete my work and the work of other Deep Underground Poetry users and find your own voice.

Funny do you not see the publishing date I wrote this 2 months before you added MY work as your own I did a small edit this year to change out a photo as I found a better one to best convey my poem

I am getting sick of all these fake pages made by people who start s**t than abandon the page

[wordman]

does this crap never end, and I think they just insulted all the people that reviewed this write

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

nope looks like it never will

And they sure did

well now, this is disappointing isn't it. still the same ol' plagiarist stealing poems from Deepunderground poetry, only now you've got yourself a sidekick too. I don't understand why you do it. there must be something inherently wrong with your brain, fair play to you for finding what must be the only other living person with the same mental disorder. *cap tip* to the two of you, that was some feat

I say this with the deepest of respect to this community of writers. She is a bad one. she has no remorse for her crimes against poetry. she has found a home here with you people, you must expunge her from this place

at the very least have a look for yourself, make your own mind up. copy paste four of five lines from one of her poems and watch how many of them turn out to be stolen.

Really a new fake page This person that has accused me has closed there page seems odd to me so hey what's up my cyberstalker glad to see your still at it can't understand what I did to warrant your never ending attacks it's so easy to hide and run your mouth with no proof what a coward you are why hide behind fake pages use your real name like us real poets here wonder how long before you close this profile as well

It's funny that this person claims this poem is theirs? I go to the link the poem has been taken down... It's a bunch of periods... They claim this poems is theirs but yet Sam's is written in July of 2014 and theirs was in September of 2014... Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't July before September?

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

Hope others see that as well ... I hope people look into it them selves and wow I am reading some of the comments on it people are quoting lines that are not even in my poem and all the fake pages that have been attacking me are members there maybe there new I don't know

Napalm Romance makes me dreamy.

[Coyote Poetry]

You had me at the first lines.
"she wears
war flowers
in her locks "
Powerful description gave life and purpose to the photo. Always a pleasure to read your amazing poetry and thoughts.

Powerful stuff! It's hard to pick a favorite line. "gun metal fireflies" "scorched earth kiss" "a dandelion wish blown on assassin's breath" Well done indeed. Thanks for sharing.

I surely hope that he looks worse than she does... oh yes, it is napalm, but it isn't romance in any shape or form... I wasn't sure why all the images of combat and war until I saw the picture... the abuse and degregation of women is and has been a war zone for way too long.. when will we put and end to this violence??!!

I applaud your poem Samantha, not enough poems like this are written. I believe that we poets, and artists need to play a role in creating an atmosphere where this is no longer tolerated anywhere in the world!!! And in this you have contributed... thank you..
