ReadySetLet'sGo

They tell me that I reach for men who's hands are brazen in display

that I intentionallly look upon the sweet ones in dismay

that I do not know how to bend or shake the brutes out of my needs

they sigh and and glance away 

as I bend in two and feed

 

The women come for me in shivers

for a latte with some lies

they chitter every bend of arm

and kiss my golden sides

as I recline in their attention eating up their love

and they in turn pour out of me a girl who is a dove

beating down the clouds for them and turning inside out

as they sweep me up into their hungers

and burn their stories on my mouth

 

I know I am intolerable in my solid, stubborn stance

immovable from black and white for love in hatred stands

I twist, I turn around my stories grasping at the edge

of the curl of ivy hugging round the hotel's gilded edge

as I step in rhythm to my blood pouring down like rain

across a city's canvas dreams brilliant, insane

and I crawl it on the edge with screams ripping at my throat

on and on, my baby

ready?

set

let's go!

rivetting words, my friend. But where are you? Did those lines of magic wrap you in their folds and carry you away to some exotic place that can't be visited by anyone other than you? --Charlie

Like an addict that consciously recognizes the damage and purposelessness of the addiction - but is helpless, and sometimes even willing - to ignore it. Content instead to travel back down the same daily path of search, score, and high. Ready, set....let's go!

I see you are here as well! There seem to be a fair number of people from CTI here, such as me, Sara Louise, Romantic Poetess, and Aberjhani. I like the lightness of your rhyme schemes. I will have to look at more of your stuff soon, here at authors den

"Stories grasping at the edge". The picture brings tears to my eyes. Cognitive dissonace reeks with agony as the doors of truth slam shut. And you on the outside, fear having replaced the quizical expression in your blue eyes. My heart now mourns for your self imposed scorn. Rise at once from the depths of this self destructive path. Treat you heart with a view of the love and kindness not offered in your present blindess. Rejoice, your self worth is far below the truth of your character. Amazing work to a pseudo, nascent poet such as I. I tremble in my inadaquacy when I peruse the beauty and depth of your verbiage. God bless. JMW

You got me, VictoriaSelene. I'm afraid I jumped the gun.
I was ready to go after the second stanza. - Gene.
