Nothing Says I Love You Like A Skull Ornament |
I have to preface this post today. I hang out with some interesting people. Some wonderfully, loving, artistic folks, that sometimes have a slightly skewed bent to them. ahem, a little of the macabre, if you will. Yes, they create cute little kitty cats, bunnies, fairies, and a whimsical moose or two, but their newest venture has a decidedly darker humour to it. I don't always understand it, but I have to love it. Please check out the BooGirls Etsy shop and show some love to these unique artists who have created and hand-painted all these metal ornaments just in time for Christmas.
Love
dark eyes
twirling in a miasma of
twisted thoughts
wishing,
waiting for the punishing,
sweet tantalizingly
torturous words
to wrench themselves
from my lips
"I love you"
only to spin headlong
into another world
of questions,
feelings bigger than
one's own world
can fathom
defeat
nothing says i love you
like a skull

first had to look up what "miasma" is...this is quite a "skewed" poem (had to look up this as well...oh my) but somehow very congenial anyway...nice one shot
ReplyDelete* Thanks for the reminder Leslie. I am glad you aren't "tortured" by my prose this week moonduster!
ReplyDelete* Thank you so much Shashi. I was kind of running with the fear we sometimes have of letting people into our lives. In love we give oneself over entirely though when we offer our hearts.
* I double-checked the meaning myself Claudia, just to make sure it was what I wanted. I like the ominous feel to it. Seemed to work with the lovely theme I fashioned myself. I know you have a much rosier view on love, but I think there is a place for both :) Thanks for visiting!
nice flow to the whole piece..the questions and then the ending....nice and clever read...bkm
