Missing image
Mother's drawers hold such secrets
Neatly folded splashing colors silken
satin spells, briefs of black lace string,
& scents and brushes from around the world.

How are you?

I am fine...

I am murder:

Crow with a cataract, staring & hopped up
on death, in the middle of your street.
I can wait forever for a treat.
From off of the telephone wires
I will break my nuts and yours.
On this hot overcrowded asphalt
stink of August. When you wipe
your brow. I am underneath
that dirty yellow, soaking
you up regardless of your
aromatic profound stupidity.

When I am not on black wing
On red spray, or burnt guts.
I wait in houses for them to
return from a lovely night
out on the town. Dancing, drinking.

While they make love to eachother.
I am a pair of eyes in the closet.
Wearing their slinkiest outfit.
Wet warm cloth filling my cracks.

Soon, I will emerge, and introduce
to not theirs, but your exhausted blissful
cigarette fooled faces that I am the Word
that pulls the blade clean on your fears.

I am the next best thing to fucking.
I am the loveliest lover ever,
and you are all on my list.
I am pure wicked murder
with a purr and dry
kiss hint of the
future.

Just without you
           in it.

    Is it me? or do I see a blade shaped in your write?
    I think that is brilliant.
    If of course this didn't fall in the choices of, werewolves, zombies, childhood fears, the end of the world, or horror movie icons, alien abductions or ufo's
    Then I would probably put it int eh jack the ripper choice, but even so, I really couldn't see it as choice number 1 or any of the other choices for that matter.
    I'm sorry, even though I really liked this piece.
    but I'm still going to give you an applause regardless, for its dark and clever write!

    Whoa! This is really, really great! I think this is by far my favorite of yours so far. "How are you?I am fine...I am murder:" right at the beggining just grabbed me like crazy. Really awesome.

    I beefed this poem up for my second manuscript which I'm editing now called 'mother murder'. So it's meant to be a touch dark. I hope you're cool with that. It should make you feel a bit repulsed but moved if it did, it's working.

    Excellent

    Horus8...I admire your writing skills. I felt a sense of deep resentment...no, I would almost say hate for your parents. I can only think that you must have suffered abuse of gigantic proportions to write this tumultuous poem, this poem of tortured emotion. I cannot say why; but in some ways I can identify with it. Your style is so unlike any that I have read before...it is brutally honest and blunt. But then, I think that is your type of personality. You tend to be a person who speaks without reservation or thought of what is "acceptable" in our society. For that I admire you, too. I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for your comment on "Amber Eyes." I will greatly consider removing the ellipses. A coma would probably be better. **Ivy Rose
