Poète maudit

Who else can inspire?
Who else lights your dreams on fire?
In darkness and in rain
I kiss your silhouette of pain

Who else makes you yearn?
Makes your stomach churn
Makes your raw heart ache
Skip like a stone over a lake

Who else electrifies
The numbness in your eyes?
Who can make your red lips quiver?
Who can make your white thighs fever?

Who will slap, choke and cuff you
Till it's almost enough for you?
Whose boots will you lick
Slowly tongue from sole to tip?

Who else can even fathom
The black depths of your chasm?
Who else even dares
To wipe away your tears?

To hold your hand and trace
The sadness on your face
Then murmur in your ear
“I still love you, dear”

A dual concept, light meets those that lurk in the shadows, well done, good read.

[Alessander]

Thanks, Thomas.

Light/dark, yes.

The partnership of darkness with poetry is age-old. Often the violence is enjoyed relished. Good writing.

Poets do go through such undeniable violence I see....in the crime of trying to bring some revolution on love process or inhumanity....
And the punishment early death occurs so magnificently by the rulers!!
But poet's are made to be remembered I think.....thanks for writing this brave....great read!

In light of the social moralistic movement spreading , it's important to remember that most true artists aren't lilyflowers.

They tend to be dark, disturbed, and even violent. Their life follows suits
