She's a Cold Habit

as she sleeps

her comfort 
leaves me breathless

this monster
beside me

inside me

her scent 
still serenades 
the air

an untamed 
paradise of my 
favorite poison

a moisturizing malice
so unclean it 
seems holy.

she's a cold habit

as she sleeps 

her wicked side
settles

fists float 

fallacy is forgotten
and 
for just a few minutes 


i remember why I love her
~n~


how many different ways
i could kill her


as she sleeps

Ok I have returned. I have read it again. I think I know what the poem is about, and it's the same thing I thought last time. I still like it, but what a strange spin it has.

Dangerous art, dangerous life - I love it - just enough mystery not to annoy, yet I can personalize this dark and tender imagination - J.A.B. %

Wow Kimmy! This is astounding! I love the way it reaches inwards and rips the thoughts from within. Very well articulated. I shall enjoy reading more of your work.

This is amazing! It reminds me of passages in Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood where a man orders a book on The Lives Of The Great Poisoners, (delivered in a brown paper wrapper!) and proceeds to fantasize about killing his wife. Love your alliterations... and the edgy nature of your piece. Well done Kimmy!! Best wishes, Keith
