my love is guarded by a monster with my name

 



What's green turns blue;
springtime melts quicker than softserve.
I understand I speak with the voice of a monster
but that's because I've been one
and I am

afraid of myself,
lost and found
and lost again.
I told you that I would call
because this bomb
I planted on the back of your neck while we were kissing
is bound to explode

in front of somebody.
And I'm afraid...
of rising to your level
and being where I belong
because I've been a monster before
and you didn't believe me when I told you

the first time.
You registered modesty on your Gregory-Radar
and I fell

short of the finish line to your heart
but I didn't know how to make you listen
because I've been afraid of this

all before.

    Interesting

    There is a deep sense of fear and perhaps even betrayal when I read this... Fear that the writer will hurt another in some way, yet betrayal because they know what they are capable of and yet they persist (albeit a little reluctantly) into the flow of seduction. It is well mixed though. The feeling of being torn is projected successfully.

    Take care

    Losing your touch

    "You registered modesty on your Gregory-Radar
    and I fell"

    I simply can't believe you wrote this...

      it's an old poem i found accidently from over a year ago at least (not sure exactly) unedited and not completely remembered. i like weird-ing myself out like that though

        Well don't 'weird' yourself like that. Think of your fans. Not that I'm a particularly fond one. You do know how to use your words. That's all I like about your poetry. Not the content though perhaps.
