Living Ambiguity of Our Souls

Missing image
“Reminisces of perfection” adorn your finger-painted soul,
substituting the “duel-sided” nature of your callous tongue.
“Captivated” by caked-on lipstick and the smell of stale cigarettes,
I saturate your “moribund” image in a bouquet of cheap perfume.

Skin pulsating,
blanketed in a “cloak of illusion,”
a “false interjection” tumbled between “frozen” sheets.
Fornicating with false pretenses and “voided intentions,”
a “gothic romance” was found at the bottom of a carton.

“Desensitized” to the “delirium” trickling from the apertures within,
“with you” I “discern” that  I will incessantly exist,
Immortalized in this “everlasting” “conundrum”,
finger-painting each other’s souls a top a canvas of living ambiguity.

    Outstanding

    This seems to be quite a challenge and I didn't even notice the first time I read it so I think you have been very successful in what you have set out to achieve. You described your feelings very well and have created a surprisingly sensual poem. Best of luck in the contest.

    There's a sense of burlesque (sp?) running through this piece that I like, and this is one of those pieces that i truly didn't expect to get.

    So far this contest is riddled with entries ranging from good to great and everywhere in between and i must say i thoroughly enjoyed the read.

    Thanks for the entry, and best of luck in the contest
