As mesmerizing as a rose
dancing like a violent flower.
Waiting to strike and consuming
almost as if it were a lost taboo.
A modern day illusionist in my dreams
marionette pulling my strings and giving me
new life to feed from and new songs to sing.
A Whore on wheels and as pretty as
the next horror movie victim.
For I am a musician at heart creating
this orchestra of love and madness
only a Phantom can endure.

This is a very creative poem and I loved "a whore on wheels", a new way of expressing an age old thought. The grammar was off in places, but I am looking forward to your entry in the next round. Peace, Liz
