Crazy Love Under a Blue Moon

How is it possible, to be "awful" and "amazing" at the same time?
Please don't find me "annoying" as I ponder your "grim" and "gruesome".
There is something quite "delightful" about seeing you so "frightened"!
It is "fortunate" that we crossed paths, "finding" you is most certainly a sign.

For you I have erected a "monolith" here under the blue moon.
At its very centre I will look upon your pure white "oval" face.
I will know pleasure as I gaze into your stunning "opaque" eyes.
It is so very wonderful to see how you are "opening" up to me!

I will not "patronize" you for you will be the "pride" of my garden.
This is merely a simple "prelude" to our very precious time together.
I know removing your face will seem "vicious", but know l will be gentle.
If I'm kind you won't be "vindictive"! Instead you'll love me and I'll be "Victorious"!

For Shadow's "Make a Poem *2Contest."

I used quotes for the words because my iPad doesn't allow me to bold words on Poetry Soup. 

I wrote this piece from a serial killers perspective, I guess I've watched to many episodes of "Criminal Minds".

Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/5/2016 7:48:00 AM Thanks Mike, I thought I had done okay with this piece but it didn't cut the mustard as they say when it came time to judge it. I'm still pleased I got an interesting piece out of the contest inspiration.

Paul Callus Date: 7/22/2016 11:35:00 AM Really dark, and it gives one the shivers, Richard. Very clever how you managed to insert the given words; I was going to have a go at it, but soon gave up!

Viv Wigley Date: 7/19/2016 11:49:00 PM ....with a nice Chianti....fff fff fff fff...... Right, that's the sinister stuff out the way, Richard, get back to writing things that won't give me nightmares when I've had cheese. Well written, sir. Regards, Viv Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/20/2016 9:00:00 AM Thanks Viv, "Silence of The Lambs" is one of Anthony Hopkin's best movies. Mind you the second in the series was horrible. The series was redeemed with the "Red Dragon" offering, Kevin Norton was excellent. Thanks for visiting and commenting Viv.
