I like you and that's dangerous
I like you and that’s dangerous;
don’t bother asking why.
just smile and pretend like a preacher,
walk me through the tangles of your weaving web,
show me how you sleep; tangled or not.
punish with a tease tarantula,
walk away whimsy.
drink me from a warm used pint glass,
green felts terrain on pool table wins.
i like you and that’s dangerous;
take heed of my wayward warnings.
do you write with melancholy maker of musings?
do you read with cognitive you carousel calypso?
what's your favorite shirt?
how you wear it well.
show me the songs that sell you a dreamer to the sinister.
bleed me a sentence to ferry from your aching heart on knees.
how do you survive?
fight or flight?
paint me a picture of the terrible.
paint me a picture of you.
i like you and that’s dangerous;
show me how you fray and unravel at the edges.
let me know you're human like me.
feed from the troth with tongues of trickery,
let me catch your mistakes of the aching morning star.
won’t you pass the time with me?
look past my weak words wrapped around your twiddling fingers tips.
painted with whatever pleases you best that day;
i fancy red.

This was very enticing...drew the reader in and kept attention...all which you desire while reading the words of others clearly conveyed here in an oddly felt intimidating kind of way...I liked this - Welcome to DUP

amid these whimsical platitudes:
carousel, calypso, morning star mistakes -
the danger pervades;
well performed intrigue...

Wow!!!!
I absolutely love the rhythm read (in my mind).
Could be an incredible write if the punctuation and spaces and structure was cleaned up.
That said, this is STILL an incredible ink.
Well done

Maybe it's the forthright feel, I'm not sure yet, but Damn, I just love the ownership and directness this emanates. The repeating of the title line really works well and plays into that feel of taking control. The phrasing and word choices are sexy, provocative and thought provoking.... transfixing me and almost having me saying out loud the answers to questions that are being asked...
The 5th and 6th stanza sealed the deal for me. This an excellently crafted poem. I'm not sure if you took Tallen's t advice and ever went back and 'cleaned this up' but I am actually partial to the way that it appears...
just my humble thoughts.
Definitely RL worthy.
I'm still thinking things over... lol...
Wondering....
if you still fancy red?
Ty for sharing 💙

I absolutely do still fancy red. thank you so much for diving into the past for this one. I believe I cleaned this one up a tiny bit. overall it ended up being about falling in Love with someone online and how easy it could be.
