Love-Hate

you put your silks and satins in me, a darkened abattoir I see your pain, a summer crisis staring sometimes for minutes it's a love hate relationship it's a love hate hall of mirrors lost in dirty bone catacombs I wait for your return

powerful and charged - '...dirty bone catacombs,' what a beauty of a line

wow, this poem spoke to me with words like 'I see your pain, a summer crisis'--so powerful those words are. I also liked 'love hate hall of mirrors' -- that's an accurate and stunning image. Well done, sir.

I wrote it not just regarding life but more about the events and happenings that life sends our way, after though I thought it was probably too obscure but I didn't change anything because I liked the words, so glad you liked it too Sara, thanks for reading
