Invest in You

Stereotypical love poem with a hint of lemons and doubt...

What if I were to snake up into you?

Slither and intertwine with the very

mortar of your existence**, becoming

the crucial ingredient for solidification,

and plant soft kisses down your spinal column.

 

Would you love me all the same

if I were to burrow through your flesh

and delve deep into your rib cage,

mangle and maim  that perfect soft skin with scars,

and entangle my fingers in your heart strings

in the same way I remember your fingers in my hair.

 

Would you grab and cast me out like the demon I am,

or stitch up those wounds I have created,

letting me mesh with

your diaphragm

and breathe

my every

breath

with

you.

Author's Note

**Please give feedback on this. I was using every muscle in my typing hand to not write "fiber of your being."

The wording in that first stanza annoys me, but I don't want to get rid of it.

Wow I like this very much!(:

Okay first. I don't like snakes. and second slither up me. ooooooh that gives me the shakes something bad. ..... But on the other hand A woman that i would love could go up and down me like an elevator. ...lol but the movement in the body, oh that would get my blood moving and not in a bad way. Having you go up and down my spine, i would get the shakes but i would want some more. I guess when you have a soul mate or companion these are things that would make you closer to each other. When hearts beat as one, and breathing becomes one. You don't know who heart is pounding and breathing, your breath becomes theirs. A lamore. =^..*=

Pieces like this make me want to read more and more of your writing. So if you get a lot of reviews from me don't hate me, i just like it a lot. :)

perfection. Nope... don't change a thing, and don't get rid of it! This is very cohesive as is, packs a nice punch. delicious!

I think you found excellent choice of words to put into this poem, and it made me think of how a relationshipp could be - harmful but also at the same time, the wounds can be healed to allow new ones to be created.
