Are You Sex?

Just my take on what sex is for a lot of people, or what it seems like. (Not my take on sex all together, I know it's about love). Once again I wrote this a while back.

Sex

Do you wrap me in silk satin dresses and pink heeled shoes with nails painted red and the husky voice inside my head, breath against my ear

Sex

Are you black and blue or white as snow that blankets my memories so

Are you sex

Flat as an open road leading to nowhere but your destination

And I walk outside everything a blur of black and white like your body crisp with new emotions building up inside of me until I explode, “What the f**k is happening?”

Shutters closed and windows closed I breathe that last breath before you turn into a sea of medusa’s monstrous heads

Because now is the time for me and you and you and me and the fairytale that we are who we want to be

But these flowers are dying petal by petal until I cannot love you love you not

Are you here but far away or are you here but not to stay, I miss you

Wrapped in blossomed arms against cold iceberg nights

You are iceberg cold, iceberg warm

Sex

Will you hold my hand and lead me astray from another day of much disdain and whisper in my ear that it will all be okay

Sex

Are you sacrificing life for life in trade for newborn hearts ready to grow when really you screw everything up?

Are you still here waiting for nights end when he doesn’t have to hold me any longer and can run to free land leaving me no more stronger.

Hanging as a dead peach from a tree of apples you and I me and him together I stand and scream, “What the f**k is happening?”

Are you dead yet?

Don't remember why I decided to pick this poem by it sounds really good when it is spoken. I forgot what it is called. I think street poets or something like that... (grr I will figure it out) and so anyway, I was saying out loud with a certain rhythm and it sounds SO GOOD- much better than just on paper.

Sex sounds good on paper too though P: Just the beat to how i was reading it out loud gave it a little kick ^^

The title was what caught my eye I didn't expect this to be good, but I thought it was brilliant! The punch it packs is outstanding and the fact that you look at your topic even handedly dealing with the positive and negavtive aspects is superb!

Great stuff, and thank you for reviewing, "Trouser Bottoms."
