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.
this was dark and intense...well worth linking up with the One Shot meme at One Stop Poetry tonight..it deserves more exposure...cheers pete

ReplyDeleteAmy, 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
ReplyDeletePotent, intense, all that excellent jazz. This is what poetry is supposed to be about, not Hallmark bulls**t romance verse.
ReplyDeleteNice One Shot, Amy - rich with imagery!
ReplyDeleteThank you I am so thankful for your comments
ReplyDeletewhew..that was certainly intense...i may not wash my hands for a while...
ReplyDeleteAmy, 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.

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