Best Poems Written by Tori Lopez

I Smiled

When I was with you it was like, for once, God wasn't watching

Like monstrous, angelic wings, you carried me through fields of uncertain bliss

And the hues of the blues of the skies soared fierce

You caressed my body in a corset of glistening light

In the fleet of an instance

And my soul was guided through foreign depths and neon steps

What a marvelous love you've proven to be

Your heart tinkered with me like a tin soldier in a toy store

You'd get me wound up, and watch me uncoil to your liking

And the sweet hush that escaped your love stained lips spoke to me in wondrous sin

And I followed

I skid across a path laced with thorns 

As deeply woven through the mist as my fingers in your hair

I let them prick the supple flesh of my inner thighs as crimson blood licked my skin

Brittle bones broke

And weakness turned friendly

I call you my destroyer

But the trigger you pulled still bore the warmth from my hands

And the bullets you took were engraved with my name

And when you drew to aim

The coordinates were inked in black across my face

Smitten with the inside of the barrel

With its nothingness 

Its deceitful nothingness

And I smiled.
