Justin Bordner Poet Ballad

Gamble Of The Gladiator

I learned to live unkissed, until
You inked my lips with scarlet bliss,
a taste of temptation spelling destiny's will,
blood drip quill tip piercing heart's prolonged pulses,
love spirit speaks seven syllabes of ritual thrill,
Mind as mouth breathes life's matrix,

I take the threat of your love
under the tongue of my boyish truth,
yet I know I can be the lover of your resolve
wrapping your bloom around my soul face proof,
I serve you delight of desire that only I can solve,
your body beckons as as beauty wet smooth,

We are a universe uncursed by chaos,
your scent a supernova of love star bleed,
pouring ache into me like rose fire unlost
You are my olio of aficionado love cross plead,
crucify me on the front page of poetry, bold ghost,
enrapture my heart with conquest creed,

The mercy of my mouth you will need...

Ink Empress September 17, 2026 at 4:02 AM What a thrill it is to bless us all with your artistry. First love ~ like the first cut has a way of leaving footprints, it never allows you to forget. But here youv described a love stronger than that with lines "We are a universe uncursed by chaos, your scent a supernova of love star bleed, pouring ache into me like rose fire unlost" You definitely have a way with words. Its an absolute pleasure reading you Thank you for joining my contest Congratulations on your top win Fave Sending you light Stay blessed 🪬 💎

Ink Empress September 17, 2026 at 3:59 AM The seven syllables ~ mentioned here made me think of the syllables of a name. Your use of alliterations and also the emotional sumptuousness that flow throughout is palpable and soulfully moving. Some of the lines here shows that you are selfless in love, and romance, and you are willing to serve so earnestly. I like the rhymes ~ sublime! And I love how each stanza is eloquently aligned, I especially like the uniqueness of the line "You are my olio of aficionado love cross plead" not something you get to read everyday!

Ink Empress September 17, 2026 at 3:52 AM Dear Justin, I really like the title here; its very unique and catchy, and gives an idea of what love endurance means to you. Everything in life is a gamble, love is perhaps one of the greatest risks we take, because it asks us to trust eyes closed, and place our hearts in someone elses hands, without knowing what would unfold. I like how this explores devotion destined, and how youv used poetry related wordplay. I quite like the concept of the poem and the way youv architectured an ambience of sensuous surrealism.
