Kill me Evil creeps here and there All around, and in the dank misty air I can taste the blood on my lips I shiver, at the thrill of my death Nothing matters As I sense the essence of this nefarious attack I lack the vision to see the terror Of the not knowing, not quite sure When the arrow long and straight Shall come to pierce my heart impure As it most surely will In the autumn rain I remember, I consume, I devour That day full of umbrellas I saw you dressed in black and red My heart, suddenly filled with delightful dread For I knew, I knew who you were The stranger with the pretty umbrella We smiled, even if you knew yet not why You would become the one to kill me so With kindness With flowers With candles With soft music With your sweet caress With the sway of your hips With your smile With your love of humanity With your laughter towards children With the dance in your step With your lips that bound my love to the angels You killed me with your pure desires and charm You killed me with such delectable wiles For surely to be beside one As beautiful as you I must have died And drifted up to the heavens above

I like the way your poem turns things around, Arthur. At first you regret "That day full of umbrellas," but then you seem t look forward to the "arrows," or symbols of love, that enter your life. Sometimes it's heard to fall in love without a bit of dread for the future. What if we get hurt? etc. Still your poem gives us hope. Excellent!

"...The stranger with the pretty umbrella..." Very interesting and compelling poem. It's almost as if the essence of evil or "...(being) killed...with...pure desires and charm" precedes existence rather than existence preceding essence which in turn signifies the value (or lack of) the one being killed. Sorry for the existential jargon, but I dig it. Thanks for sharing, Arthur V. -- Wesley C.
