For One Shot -Excused

I shutter in leather eyes lashes

Cuff me to black veins

Fool me into your prison

Cut me in your dungeon

I am the spy




Love me

In heart shaped locket

Keep me in your magazine article

Between news lines and spread

I am muted space




Between cherry red lipstick stains

Drawn in stitched panties

Made of lace.




Reach for me

Beyond wire rimmed lens

Dense imperfection

Music and conversation fades

I am beyond the crowds

In Contempt

Handcuffed to buttons

The way my smile creases your heart.




As I fade back into the distance

You smell me on your fingers.

  3. Amy, you've some great lines in this piece; intense, to reiterate Pete. Think it might be helpful to your audience to darken the font a bit, perhaps match the darker color I see on your sidebar. cheers

  4. Potent, intense, all that excellent jazz. This is what poetry is supposed to be about, not Hallmark bulls**t romance verse.

  8. Amy, everyone's used the word "intense" and I'm struggling to find a synonym that fits as well and I can't. Very dramatic poetry.

  9. The darker side of the sensuality and your imagery made this one very strong.. your last line was perfect to the theme...
    Your line made me think again about the effects of smile....
    The way my smile creases your heart.
