Her name....


I'll never tell...


I simply called her lovely...




I remember thinking to myself

A girl like this, could lead to a need
for a tiny little heart shaped coffin.



It still haunts me occasionally.

Oh the memories...



She painted erotic pictures in the back of my mind,
just by looking into my eyes.

And I hit the floor like a ghost,
who'd just seen his own reflection.



She purred a deep, warm moan when I kissed her.

And all the world turned the color of lust.

(just a shade darker than blood red)


She tore away my old armor,
like so much tissue paper.

And freed my wings from atrophy.


She said she could see inside of me.
And to my astonishment, she proved it.


God, these memories.

They're adding up to negatives.



Regret has all the perks of cancer,
without the benefit of an ending.

when they say it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all,they are lying through their teeth. all I can say is, damn!

"a girl like this could lead to the need for a tiny little heart shaped coffin" My god.. That particular line, and "she tore away my old armor like so much tissue paper." I felt this poem.. Walls crumbling like sandcastles.. the entire world doused in what they make you feel.. and you know it's going to be bad for you.. like superman kissing kryptonite. This was wonderful.

The fact that her name is never to be said also shows the awe your still in, either of the pain it would bring, or the fear of breaking the illusion she left you with

So much imagery painted. a shadow ghost unfolding wings, left me thinking, bat/dragon wings or those of a dove/angel. We all rise to free ourself of the killing feeling of regret. This made me realise what I had happely forgotten
