Red Paintings

Alive.

I felt alive in their raging fervor
Their ferocity
As I realized in the love we made
we destroy ourselves

Destruction.

Playing sweetly to my veins
As your clay hands reached out to touch
me, we became one in our violence.

dirt on my knees, aliveindestruction
        oh sweet melody
you taught me lessons
that even the Loudest Renegade
can be a Gentleman

and kiss your hand at the end
    of the evening.

Author notes

An older piece, October maybe. I saw The Red Paintings open for The Dresden Dolls and it was a moment of intensity in which I wish I had pen/paper at that moment.

Please tell me what you think

    Well done

    Wow...

    I really liked the concept of this. Mixing love with destruction definitely creates a unique perspective.
