The Cupcake in my Eye

A devil whispers in my ear, temping me,

Wishing for nothing but sinful behavior

I should have slit its throat a long time ago

Black thorns buried deep inside my veins

Slowly draining my existence away

Your kiss unlocks the deadlock battles inside

You live in the gap between man and monster.

I use your love as my shield

My built up pain as my sword

A suit of armor built by our collective craziness

All to slash and kill the demons of my past

Take a last look of what I was

I’m not that starry eyed doe of a boy

Now I’m indestructible…

Destroy the bridge and deadly gap in my mind

Between Reaper and the man I am.

I’ll move forward, masking the fight inside

All signs point to bloody victory

As long as you are by my side

You told me to believe

The belief I would love again

Who knew it was going to be you

That I would fall in love with

And get some salvation for my soul.

Your words take on a meaning to what true love is and the willingness to do anything for anyone. It shows the turmoil of life and pain and how one moment of uncertainty can open into a cavern of love we've never truly know was there. It blossoms in the life of scarce freedom and fright. In the time where we cannot see much further then our own hands like puppet strings held to our face. Running without seeing, and it captures us, as you have captured this poem with a breathlessness so beautiful.

Well done. :)

A dark write with a hint of hope for this person's soul... winds up uplifting.

Love has the potential to do wonders; shining out darkness is, indeed, one of them. Love not only shines out the darkness but brings hope. I really enjoy the hope present in this poem. But just remember, love can also draw out the light in yourself as well.

Oooh, very darkly romantic! The title makes me giggle though :) I can't help but envision some bloody battlefield when I read this. But really, I am sure that is exactly what our heart would look like. Nice write, friend.

Love can mend those once deep weeping wounds. Love can make those ugly scars fade into thin lines. The last line of this poem is a strong one.

[Sleeping Maiden]

Wow. This is stunning its own unique way. A dark but yet sweet poem. Tangled with struggles and pain but love seems to be wrapped around so the aches are slowly being healed away..

I really love this! =) Wonderful work!!!
