Midnight Lust

Midnight Lust

A Poem by

Gorgeous.

 

It's gorgeous.

Your hair, your skin, your features, your eyes.

Yes your eyes are gorgeous

And deep. I might someday, drown in them.

Be indulged by them. If I haven't already.

There's desire. Craving.

Perhaps the tiniest tint of lust. Jealousy.

Of what you have. Of what you are. Of who you are. And of what you are given.

 

I love you.

However, I also hate you.

I may just snatch what it is you hold so dear. Perhaps even steal your soul. Her soul. That is untamed.

Devour you.

 

But that is impossible.

 

When you sit there,

on the edge of the roof,

on this building.

 

And you stare,

at the rose,

in your hand,

as if it were the happiness of the whole universe.

 

And you pluck,

each petal,

soaked in red.

 

And each petal flies away with the breeze,

that rustles your hair and scrapes your skin.

 

And you sit in front of the full moon,

accidentally revealing your silhouette.

 

I watch, out this window. In hiding.

Simply waiting for the time,

to pounce.

You create a wild vision and very good story. What the mind can dream and imagine. You brought me in with strong lines and held me to the last word. A outstanding poem. I like the ending.

'And you sit in front of the full moon,
accidentally revealing your silhouette.'

Favourite lines in this poem. They say SO much. The addition of the word 'accidentally' turns the entire meaning around, reflecting concealment and possibly a fear of showing a dark side. Or maybe it was an accident in your eyes, a weakness that you've never seen before and will use it to your ultimate discretion. This was really well done, only thing I'd say is to ease up on the punctuation... thought I understand it's probably your style. Thanks for sharin'.

This is true, a bit wicked, and revealing.
Yes, sometimes when confronting beauty, we both long to possess and hate the bearer of such beauty. Sometimes when you look beyond the physical beauty, you find a sweet, simple soul baffled by the envy thier beauty engenders.
