Tricky Trinkets

Tricky Trinkets

A Poem by Karina Longo

Your words come as a warm handshake -
But I need it casual, closer, tighter -
embrace my expectations, take me higher
Go deeper, be wilder.

You like to blow me kisses - please don't.
Wind touches me gently-like
every single second of my life
So praise detail and press your
vanilla lips against mine -
I wanna taste flavoured emotion
What you give me is
mere bittersweet poison.

Whatever you say is argumentable,
but what you do can't escape from being
sheer evidence -
Go on and enjoy the meaning of nothing,
Trapped into memories of hatred.
Love is a myth in hell,
So guess where am I
now.

Little flames from the underground
Never passion - passive conformists,
the dying bland breed.
Summer lovers stuck on the ground -
connection for one season, loveless love
for sale -
You can find it at every corner.


But beware, they shine like gold -
All those tricky trinkets from their
empty souls.

Yep, ya gotta be careful out there these days. For many, it's very hard to find That Right Person to be with who's genuine in everything. Only a handful are out there. Great piece!

Amazing words and story in this poem. "Love is a myth in hell, "
I learn with age. Real love is friendship and the people willing to stay with you in the bad and good times. A very good ending to a outstanding poem. I bet your poetry in other languages are wonderful also.

the most outstanding aspect is the wordplay and double meanings. I like how it takes phrases and turns them around.
