charisma.
all that artificial
swinging dick bravado
attracting
curious moths
they burn themselves alive
in welcomed toxic flames;
their sparse teeth
chip on hardened glass,
twisted mouths soon bloodied
a river flowing
as every word bleeds languid sticky
yet still,
so very beautiful
steeped in a blind unawareness
of such needful things

parts of a dream I had last night, I could only remember the tail end, Tom Hardy was who popped into head, I haven't a clue why... heh..

Great poem Blue!
I was just reading about moths yesterday. They use star and moonlight to navigate and are distracted by artificial lights, so are misguided, not suicidal. Just thought you should know.

Dear BV,
I never have dreams like these. Mine are typically night terrors where my feet are blocks of cement and I can’t run away from whatever is chasing me and my screams sound like I’m under water. Never anything sexy and that’s if I remember anything of them in the first place. Nothing like this eloquent submission. Some gals get all the luck. Great write. H🌷

(hahaha.... in my sleep, he says....)
Ron,
Ty for walking with me in my dreamscape... maybe this was an allegory for real life? or my subconscious just fucking with an old lady's head during a pandemic?... (my bet!) either way, you are a kind man to jump aboard for a glimpse.
I'm appreciative of your list add and all your unbelievably awesome remarks.

How the fuck do I tell the difference between the bad, obviously"evil, "evil universe you" and the normal you, you?? I think it's a total trick question... Yeaaah.. completely bs... hahaha...!!
I see your sneaky, cheekiness!!! heh heh..
Dreams are meant to be a release, one way or another... we haven't much control what gets put on the movie reel when we sleep and dream.... is my opinion. Perhaps, at times, it's reinforced or influenced by the days events or a muse's suggestion (*wink) but other than that,we're powerless to control it... what the mind wants during dreams, it gets...
The bad Ron knows that, too... lmao 😈 😈
xoxo... Ty for reading and your thoughtful comments, Sir Ron... you do me an excellent honor of your list add, as well ;)

Re: Re. charisma.
I went round and round with myself about adding "the big swinging dick"... lmao... I kinda had too...
Dreams are like that, though... opaque and questionable... although, anyone who knows me knows that big swinging dick line, isn't much of a surprise.. Mwahahahaha...!!...
I think the whole dream was my mind taking situations I don't find appealing or upstanding and morphing them, via the dream state... That's my real opinion... anyway... yes, you're correct with your last point..m.
STARVING!! ...

Dreams tend to make the best poems because they emerge from our subconscious. Sometimes they won't make sense to us or we won't fully understand their meaning or have an accurate interpretation, but they have a certain appeal and mystery to them. It makes for beautiful and enigmatic poetry.
Outstanding work Blue.

I love the way your first stanza just came in like a wrecking ball and the rest demolished what the first swing didn't.
