Let me Let You
I'll chase the ghosts from your halls and marrow
if you allow me to haunt your crevice.
Let me nurture your screams to those of joy
like a thousand seraphic harlots
moaning a Barber-stringed symphony.
I can cultivate the infertility of the stubborn -
scattered memories that have plagued your soil
and forced you to feed on hopes.
Let me roam the summer pines of your head
as the warm rain ignites every follicle,
transcending my weightless being.
I would reconstruct your sacred ruins;
building a strengthened home.
Let me dream and wake, inside your love.
Let me let you do the same.
if you allow me to haunt your crevice.

like a thousand seraphic harlots
moaning a Barber-stringed symphony.

building a strengthened home.
Let me dream and wake, inside your love.

I am loving haunted marrow and sacred ruins.
The only nit I have is small: I think if you traded ' head' for' scalp' the flow would be nicer, and the final line is unnecessary.

Actually the two nits you picked at were two parts I'd spent more time on than I perhaps should of.
I put the last part there just before I posted as it felt incomplete with the coulpet.
I'll look over the head thing though.
Thanks for your eyes and praise, Aish.

There's something lovingly macabre about those first two lines that makes you uneasy but captivated at the same time - I think it's the way 'haunt' and 'crevice' sit so close to each other, one being kind of sinister and ethereal, and the other having really carnal associations. They draw you in and swallow you into the rest of the poem. I feel like the final line, or something in it's place if you're going to change it, is needed to bring the flow to a full stop - I think the previous to last line would hang awkwardly without it.

Well anything macabre related is a compliment to me so thanks.
Yeah the last verse is a bitch. I'll definitely look at the last line again though. When the thinking gland is stimulated.
Again thanks for the time and nice comment, Merda.

I adore this. It's lovely.
It's a quest to save her, while she saves him.
This goes on my list. :)

Why thankya kindly, Rachel.
Yes it's a quest to build something new I suppose.
You're too kind, again thanks.

Your skill at crafting complex internal landscapes evokes an almost spiritual atmosphere in your poems. Even at its darkest your work is transcendant. Thank you very much for the read, Dan.

Your welcome, Jack.
That is far too kind a compliment and is more than appreciated.
Thank you very much for the praise.

This touched me deeply. Having once been broken and untrusting, I would have absolutely melted if someone had said this to me. It touches every level of intimacy and transcends it.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.

That's sad to hear but I'm really glad you could connect with it in that way.
Thanks for your praise and stopping by, starlight.
