Poetry And Poison at Night

in #poetry6 years ago

If only I didn’t have this curse
of caffeine & nicotine in the morning
poetry & poison at night
perhaps I wouldn’t have to pry
through the beloved’s being
I would burst with better
No more the cannibal
that eats my own heart

The words may linger in the throat
only to evaporate by the time they reach their journey’s end
at the tip of the tongue
You, shadow in my dreams, I cannot remember to relay
Just the cloudburst of nostalgia
raining from the speakers
As they play the soundtrack to my reverie

Twenty minutes into waking
and
I’ve forgotten all but the flavor of my dreams

Wow! You just nailed that

Very powerful! You have a very unique writing style, @pinkspectre. I love the imagery painted throughout, but especially this line:

No more the cannibal
that eats my own heart

A different prospective to see this world, i like it.

I feel this way sometimes, i wanna indulge in the pleasure of every moment.

I wanna roam the streets of Venice with a light top and a bom short.
A bottle of wine in one hand and strawberries in another.

i don't care if i go alone, with a love or with a stranger .

Just to be free, roam the streets without a worry in the world.
(This is part of me, y dream)

beautiful lines, with a load of melancholy that touches the soul and makes you go deeper in you. It makes me feel like a newbie (which I confess I am) and see how much road I still need to travel.
