Blutarm Wörter

Tödliche Liebe

What light is this
Piercing my sight
What manner of beacon
Seeks ingress into my mind

Aaaah

Words

How they sing

Such vivid colour
Phrasing that resonates
Images that tease and tantalise

Wanton in their sensuousness
Fastidious in their paucity

 

Lies

All your words


Meaningless prattle
Offal for the masses


Only bleed

Just once

Then you will know truth


Come


Let me embrace you
Let me cut you

Feel the beauty
As my truth's chitinous claws
Draw forth your words

Taste

Is this blood not sweet?

This reads very pretty, and the element of danger in it is entruiging, which inturn is as perplexing as the act of cutting and blood letting enabling one to feel more alive.  There's a paradox in passion that is conveyed to me in your poem....though I'm not into cutting or blood, (yucky), but never the less you always seem to make it seem appealing;)

he he, blood letting, as I've oft remarked, is how I refer to my writing. Not that I'm averse to a little blood now and then either...
