Deliberation

 

Her dark forest blackens my dreams

With the ‘Midnight Clouds’

Interrupting the patterns

Of the shadows

Cast by the thin winter oaks

 

When the lunar satellite

Reflects the setted sun

And the stars

Dim because of light

-The dream of her is

Put to sleep

 

There are the nights

When there is no moon

Sometimes camouflaged

Behind the sharpened stars

That peer into my soul

Like her eyes

 

                Why does she appear then?

                Only for me to fall in love, again

                Smiles at me with that figurative grin

                Blonde streaked hair with green eyes staring in

 

But the night has her eyes illuminated

Like the reflective lens of a panther

That blends into the backdrop

Of the those "vague distant mountains"

 

Her claws and teeth

Thrust at the valves of my heart

And I suffocate-

Just before death

She let’s go of her hold

And the holes in my chest

bleed

I agree with B & B, that rocked! I love free form, and it was neat to see you put a twist on it by combining a bit of rhyming. I loved how you described everything. It was like I was there. Nice Jason!

Damn, that was good! I don't even know what to say except... I loved it! It was just so creative, especially the first two stanzas. You figurative language definitely kept me reading because you made it fit so perfectly. I personally favor the final stanza... I'm a sucker for metaphoric (if that's even a word) violence! Thanks for sharing this!

This is poignant, and your use of metaphors is unique, and astounding. This is an excellent write.
