Metallic Taste
The subject is dark and I was inspired by my 55 piece a few prompts ago. I really wanted to expand the idea. This is my first 10 minute poem. I think it came out well. Now lets see if I can get this formatting correct. Well, got the formatting and it looks much cooler on my word document, but I would really like to post it up. If the format bothers you, please comment.
Knife held by fingers An arm extended The knife’s blade reflects
The arm, pale and scarred, ready
Two opposites connect
They create a new love
The blade slices across
An old wound reopens
Blood slowly trickles
Eyes of water stare
One fat drop falls
Devilish lips grin
Red and red meet
A kiss of sick love
She smiles, blood drips
Her arm tenses, blood rains
The taste metallic
She licks her arm clean
The knife held by fingers An arm extended
