the face of a name

the face of a name

A Poem by Alma
"

this is a poem about a person I have never met but who has served as a muse in many ways

"

Like a scar in my face,

you burnt yourself inside,

my body's your home,

open wide.

 

In my mind- immortal,

you twist and wind,

you are one of the perfect,

the rare kind.

 

Yourself you keep hidden,

from my curious eyes,

driving me mad,

with all your disguise.

 

You are the killer,

with the trustful gun,

no need to hide,

hopeless to run.

 

Days and nights,

I imagine the face,

of somebody's name,

who got me in a daze.

 

The way I am,

I'd give up to be you,

so stable and calm,

so beautiful and true.

 

Addicted to a name,

that's so alive in my head,

making me shiver,

and endlessly sad.

 

Hoping for something,

I will never achieve,

all my dreams dying,

I am drowning in grief.

 

I envy your core,

till the day I die,

and you'll never see,

the tears that I cry.                  -a- (02/10/2007)

Now, that was quite an unusual writing you got there. I really admired how you described your words to the person that would be your nortorous killer or your personal perfect lover

On the other hand, it's all good...
