scene of a beautiful crime

scene of a beautiful crime

forensic fuse

short circuited wisdom,

footprints burned into the heart

lightning cracks the limbs of sense

they fall

i fall

take the rubber gloves off of my emotions

and embrace the electricity of you

till death do me part

ceremonial rites a residue of ashes

i have been shocked back to life.

Hi again. This is the fourth poem of yours I have read (beginning from the most recent, anthems and dead silence). I have now subscribed. Thank you for writing these great poems.

Whoa! This is a forensic Bride of Frankenstien tale! Clever, great word- play , and definitely Halloween-ish. Second verse super-charged! Love this j.!

It's been said that love covers all sins. Perhaps beauty can intervene on behalf of justice for alleviation of criminality in this case. Visions of the Phoenix here, rising from the ash.

So much turbulence, shock, vulnerability in love, yet we pray for it to stay stay always. An awesome write Mr. Jacob.

Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead! Emotions sometimes need those rubber gloves for protection. We all make silly mistakes for what we think is love. Such a relatable write. Lydi**

This clandestine love affair proved to be exciting and has reignited long lost lust and passion, but just how to keep it under wraps is the problem?

Intriguing and stimulating poetry Jacob, surreptitiously stealth, awakens the curiosity!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your insights, and kind words, Tom.

Ah how love can feel beautiful despite the pain and anguish and the little death as the blood flow returns! Mesmerised as to your ability with metaphors still Jacob.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind words, John.
