Imperfection
The rustling leaves all around me
Spinning in a circle
Whispering enchanted lies
They feel me up again
With sacred length
Distancing us two
Apart
Up and away and flowing
My breath falls over again
Constant dreams, broken in this swirling
Red hair and eyes in full motion
Conscience disapproval
Works as heart maintenance
Crossing lips entitled to destiny
I’m solemn here
Buried beneath
Earthquake disrupts the earth again
And four long legs holding me
Eyes create the atmosphere
Smoke is the poison to your lungs
Injection of poison slivers
Finding loves long lost kiss

"Smoke is the poison to your lungs
Injection of poison slivers
Finding loves long lost kiss"
that is the metaphorical bow on a well wrapped present. Amazing work!

What sick ridiculous puppets we are and what a gross little stage we dance upon, what fun we have dancing, fucking, not a care in the world, not knowing we are nothing, we are not what was intended.
Maybe I've just been reading a little too much Anne Rice lately, but the line "Red hair and eyes in full motion" brings to mind the twins...(yes, I'm aware I need a hobby)...the dreams...the sadness...
There is a certain serenity to this poem, especially in the lines "Crossing lips entitled to destiny/I’m solemn here/Buried beneath"...quite calming...until the end that is, where it seems to gain a sting to it.
Though, do tell - I cannot find a palpable enough image of the "four long legs" holding you.
An enjoyable read, but I do believe my mind is elsewhere...I must make a point of reading it again later when my thoughts are a little clearer.
