- Borrowed and Pasted -

Missing image

 

 

 

He adorned with scalloped frills and hand sewn
remnants from scraps collected for his doll~ broken in.
Virginity compromised, Spirit stripped, virtues viscerated;
valued treasures now objects of incestuous infatuation.

In surreal ink, finger cuts applied color, painted her pain
to enhance emptied windows where pasted sockets rolled back
years of neglect and internal-external abuse, foundation covered.

Flower petals wilted, plastic melted against her chest
hollowed from death's design, love gutted out with silver spoon
he held hungrily;
afterwards stuffed trinkets then threaded emptied shell.

She was forced to marry his Frankenstein insanity created,
become bride and walk down Hell's aisle to exchange "I Do"
before both experiments were terminated, murdered again, deja vu.

Re- buried in sod, formaldehyde preserved to prove point 
that useless scavengers amongst society 
could be rehabilitated with bits and pieces of them~

permanently 'borrowed'.

    Macabre, interesting but volatile on the stomach when you think too deeply on this one

    This is a haunting reality to me... You have taken this way into the darkside. But are we not becoming a society of Frankenstein people with all our plastc and metal and saline parts... Oh and lets not forget about the smiling veneers... What would an alien make of that pile of gravesite remnants??? hehe! A well thought out piece here, Oh! and it's jcats contest!!! You go girl!!!

    What sick and twisted imagery. The message was woven within the intensity of the words. Society does take what it wants without any thought or remorse. Great read. Good luck in the contest.

    I couldnt even read this, the first lines sprung me back like a spring and I had to stop. I've obviously not dealt with what I thought I had in all these years. It takes so much strength to write about this subject and do it as powerfully as you have, I could tell just by the beginning but I feel the power of the rest, I know that makes sense to you. A million applauds
