The blackness drips from your tainted lips Deluging in darkness the red moon in eclipse A venomous Venus veins your fingertips +++ Grey clouds mourn as your wrath does scorn The veils of love are tempestuously torn Relishing in obscurity and anguish you adorn +++ Mounted by illusion exiled in cerebellar confusion Dreams captured within sacrificial seclusion As the shadows shackle and tuck you in exclusion +++ Dormant eyes weep upon a caliginous calm sweep For in are sedulous sorrows we shall reap The nebulous nectars of your deep +++ Love a double-edged sword will cut the cord For you wait for your retroactive reward Thus consumed by the atramentous horde.

Love is definitely a double edged sword. Ma you feel only the soft round edge of its buttery smooth feel and never the killing side of love. Have a great day dear poet.

This is filled with depth and darkness. "Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease" You have created another Masterpiece Winged Warrior. Watch out!! Because, those lips of venom will deceive, oh yes- you better believe, they will. Tainted Love with Black Powder Mist. ~ Brandy

Hey there, thanks for the comment. It was your poem that inspired mine. I came in here and read this and then saw the contest you wrote it for and jumped to the contest page to see what it was about, then dove into that poem and never got back here to comment on your brilliant piece of writing. I feel like a bad friend now. But...yours was awesome and your imagery, what you can do with letters and symbols just blows me away. Bravo my friend, I think this one will reach the top way before mine.
