Cruelty
a half smoked cigarette
that you snubbed out
deciding I wasn't your brand
still I desire you
the gravel in your voice
rattles my soul
shakes me to my core
where did you come from?
demon, angel
or something all together different
so unique to anyone
I've ever crossed paths with
your smoky brown eyes mesmerize
of course you would say this is all silly nonsense
that I should concentrate on myself
yet into my dreams your visage comes pounding in
escapism is at the heart of the matter
I'm not happy
you are my distraction
five years now I've danced on your periphery
in that time you've picked me and put me down
you are the tangible in my unsure world
I'm crazy but you always knew that
reach in and touch me in my dark places
feed the fiend in me
pour gasoline on my fire
burn me down to the ground with your ferocity
smoke me with your poetry
then put me out

What an amazingly circular read, Crim.
I loved the honesty of your emotions
and wisdom to recognize what it is
you need to do, but aren't quite ready
to do it yet.
The lessons in life are difficult to learn -
and there is nothing wrong with taking
your time to experience the full scale
of them. Though letting go is beautiful
whenever you're ready to.

Ahhh . . ., A man completely under your skin and in
your devilish places.I feel the exact same day way
about a woman. It is not necessarily a good way to
have to live, but wouldn't want to live any other way!

visions in the smoke are so desperately attractive
but we can't grab them & hold them.
strictly engaging poetry, Crim...

To accept your weaknesses and the pleasures you derive from being so close to your kryptonite sounds so liberating.
Never been able to put my own love of pain into such truthful, powerful words
Excellent dear Crimsin

Nothing like the escapism of fantasy and what makes the fantasy awesome also makes it hurt. You can have the poetry and the dreams but they don't want you because they see exactly what you are doing. I know this too well and the fact that we bring it all on ourselves makes it hurt no less. I have to see it as another form of self harm for me, like a safe and dangerous thrilling dissapointing self harm. It hurts so much because the pain channelled is real. This write says all I didn't know how to say yet. So I could just be putting all my crap in it. Awesome ink dear Crim xx much love and forgive me if I'm all wrong on how you meant it <3

yet another amazing write, love and desire are so strange but very rarely constantly felt or given - you almost make it sound 'pick and mix' and unfortunately I agree with that conviction. I wonder if it was always constant, might it become boring?
anyway, excellent write got my grey matter sparking up :-)

My favorite lines:
"demon, angel
or something all together different
so unique to anyone
I've ever crossed paths with"
I still can't decide if you're angelic or demonic, but I respect you either way. You're unquestionably unique. Fine work Crim!

It was nice to read something not so Fire & Brimstone, but still dark from you. I am not much into critques. I do however like to see different styles from authors/ poets.
