I've Made Love to Snakes

one more poem today I don't have much to say about this one though =p

I’ve only ever made love to two people

                                And even so the idea of

                Thighs on mine is

           Foreign

Though both boys had at least one thing in common

Alien tongues that liked to search my estranged apertures

Trying desperately to coax me into believing

                Deceptions not at my heals

 

                           However

           I have always been

                                Naïve

 

They were also chock full of preempted words on lips

                                Whispering into my ear all the things

                They knew I would want to hear

Who knew words could have the same slander as a snake

 

Since then I think I’ve come to grow weary of

           I love you’s

                And heavy hearted to alien tongues

You see my ribcage has spent too much time

                Rocked away from my pelvis

                                That more often than not I am left without

                Verve

 

Despite the beatlessness of my heart

I still find that I am the queen of this

                Thoughtless

                                October

And I throw slews of blood thirsty color

Into the mouths of empty headed lovers

                That I spew snake slander at in the form of

                                Empty headed

           I love you’s

 

Though no matter what I do

That color will

Still splatter onto the walls my amplified ribcage

 

That I find to be fragile

                And not held steady at all by

The boys I’ve pressed against my thighs

The primitive strike for this

                                Heart ache

 

I find that the crook in this rickety Jaw of mine

           Doesn’t

                           Help

This was really just wow. To be honest I really don't know if I could give a review that would do your poem justice. You have a lot of truth and raw emotion in the lines. The way that you painted the picture and how honest you were has me stunned. Amazing job. xo Winter
