bleed your worth to me
Poetry Contest Description
one poem - stimulate me - tempt my imagination - bleed your poetic art to me
any genre - one poem each - 100 words or less - one week - new poems only. Stimulate me with poetry that digs deep. Rules are carved in stone. Above all, have fun. I'm not looking to be shocked with arrogance, cruelty or luridness. I've seen it all. Show me why my passion for poetry is out of control. Explode your words in me.
Deconstruct & Recreate
nightly,
i take pen to flesh
and carefully carve out,
cryptic metaphors-
planting seeds
of self deceit
that flourish
greedy vines
the ivy binds
foraging the depths
of my veins
the crimson sunset’s
consuming word-lust
drips into syllables
that pool into lines
dying the blanched
echoing shells
with vivid sanguine
promises of
release
i'll manipulate
my beautiful,
seeping deficiencies
like an eager child
content with
finger paints
and destroying
fragile dandelions
with a single
breathy
wish
for every
lashing sting
leaves an echo
of joy
The sting from distance turns to a pang that reverberates almost
sub-sonic with strength enough to plague a man restless and have
him plunge his hand heart-ward to make a bloodied gift for her
:>O<:
In dreams,
I've touched your nape with lips
and felt your skin turn silken
'neath tentative fingertips,
then dove into the depths of you
and lost myself
in the beauty of it all
sub-sonic with strength enough to plague a man restless and have
him plunge his hand heart-ward to make a bloodied gift for her
:>O<:
In dreams,
I've touched your nape with lips
and felt your skin turn silken
'neath tentative fingertips,
then dove into the depths of you
and lost myself

A trinity of pleasure so far. Thank you, Ghoulie, Craic, and Jack... each are very diverse and deep in their own right. Awesome graphic with a flourishing poetic piece, Ghoulie. Jack that is quite a unique and intriguing write, to say the least. And Craic, that's a powerful punch of seduction. Thanks again!
Wayward
Soft lights flicker on the wall
and the clock tuts the hour.
She curls in the armchair
borrowing darkness for a quilt.
If she stills herself, she can feel
his last fingertraces on her cheek.
The distance from that moment extends
her ache; it cleaves her in two.

Through the Glass
I sat out in the cold, the snow came down, the wind blew hard. My face was cold, my fingers and toes were froze. After hours in the cold. I see you in the warmth. Every now and then, you took a look.
You, saw me standing there. Nothing more from you. So, I guess I'll be on the outside, looking in forevermore.
Looking through the glass!
The knife was in my heart!

The Kiss
May these words anesthetize you like a hypnotic kiss
And rest like a hand at the base of your skull
Fluttering bats in your gut dance with bliss
Stare into my I’s and just…. Let go.
Like death my warmth covers your soul
I whisper these sentences to dull your will
Without hesitation you give me your whole
Like possession I enter and leave with a kill
These are only words, a projection onto your soul
Hollow are my I’s echoing with bliss
My lips have become these sentences and your reading is my kiss
May these words anesthetize you like a hypnotic kiss
And rest like a hand at the base of your skull
Fluttering bats in your gut dance with bliss
Stare into my I’s and just…. Let go.
Like death my warmth covers your soul
I whisper these sentences to dull your will
Without hesitation you give me your whole
Like possession I enter and leave with a kill
These are only words, a projection onto your soul
Hollow are my I’s echoing with bliss
My lips have become these sentences and your reading is my kiss

Far
I'm flirting with a silence that feels like
a long stare across a familiar landscape
starving the desire to make sense of things
because I'd rather deny than face anything
leave me to the rumbling that thunders through my mind
until every moment left dissolves into past tense
there's nothing to say when there's so little time
and no concern
the scenes painted on the canvas of my memory
seem so far away today

Thank you, Demonseyesofblood and Violence! Demon your chill pierced my heart. Violence your kiss seduces the wicked beast in me. Two very strong inks. *She takes a long look inside*
Edit in: Thank you, deeply Mikimoondancer too for your flirting of silence upon the rumbling of the mind's thunder.
