A hopeful virgin

All around fly those little red hearts

Wanting to join their equivalents,

Caught by two astute hands,simultaneously.

Everything they touch becomes in colour,crimson

Every face they kiss is painted scarlet

Every two souls converged under its authority,

Become a mass of scarlet berries.

But,I am still white

Without any emulsion.

I am still pristine,

Keeping intact the sheen of my lip gloss.

Clad in all white,I haven't relished the sensation of those scarlet berries

My hands are not agile enough to pluck one.

But cherishing an undying hope as a virgin,

That someone somewhere as a counterpart would pluck them,one day,with me.

This is an interesting take on life, society and virginity( in more than one way). I loved the delicate wordplay here. .good one ;)

I like it. Being 'plucked' isn't the great experience everyone thinks it is though.

[fattycbreezy52]

True! As an individual I agree with you, but as a poet, I partially agree to this. You see, one-sided view.Many people think it's heaven..so! Anyway, thanks for an honest review:) I appreciate! :)

full of sadness, hope & desire... it is quite more complex to write about three different emotions at same time. in case of emotions of sadness, it's difficult to work with desire like thing. very interesting poem.

Thanks a lot:)

The yearning of the subject here is unbridled tempered or garnished with sweet romanticism. The language is beautifully metaphorical. The image is a delight and the text colour and choice all make this a complete work of art.
Great write FcB. :))

TE HE HE. you caught me

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Again you capture different emotions in your writing. Here is the determination and pride of the virgin mixed with anxiety about being left loveless.

[fattycbreezy52]
