DarkPoetry -|- kiss of the dark -|- In Love With A Poet

In Love With A Poet

Freely going into
the depths of you
once again...

Surrounded by the dust,
swimming in the thorns
that rip into
the nostalgia and
broken smiles.

I put you in the box,
and had hope that you would
dissolve.

The photographs,
the poems,
the love letters...

You were my faultless seraphim;
My poetic disaster.

In my dreams,
I put the black and ivory keys
In my hair.
And watched your fingers dance
Within my sepia locks.

Lurid tendencies,
Immaculate haunting...

I was in love with a poet...

...a dangerous extreme

Involuntary suicide.

The care with which you construct each line is amazing, I would list the number of lines that inspired awe. But alas I have only 256 letters. Magnificent.-Rev

I agree with sunflower girl. Those lines were eloquent. I imagined a balerina, full of grace with her hair down (help me out on this one plz what are sepia locks, are they a hairstyle)none the less the grace and beauty speak out from these lines.
