Some Kinda W***e

A Blood-Red Rose

passed round and round.

Night after night,

someone new always found.

His one night,

then on to another.

Never to settle

for just one lover.

Some kinda W***e

will play with your heart.

Some kinda W***e

will tear you apart.

Some kinda W***e,

will make you want more.

Some kinda W***e,

who you're sure to crave for.

However you ask, 

She always seems fine.

So you think to yourself,

She'll always be mine.

But the Blood-Red Rose

is sure to Die.

As soon as she withers,

so will the Lie.

Some kinda W***e,

who likes to dance in the rain.

Some kinda W***e,

who will take all the pain.

"As soon as she withers, so will the Lie". I see that line as the heart of this poem. This is an excellent portrayal of the confusion between sex and love and the resulting emotional security. Great job!

this is a very powerful read. most people tend to focus on solely the sexual dimension of the w***e but here you illuminate the social-emotional dimension of promiscuity

I love the rhythm in this, very good :)

I like the way you tell it without seducing.... seducing is the illusion ...it is the droning , mindless body /spirit disconnect that is the real action in play ...your poem feels that revolving door lover.... that the next one ,no the next one, no ,the next one will fix what i need.....

LOVE IT !!!! your on my list

[wijdan]

i really liked it

[emmajoy]

The repetition of that one phrase hits home from start to near finish. From the opening line the fire burns and burns until that final sentence when there seems to be an almighty release.

Powerful. Tragic.

This is bold and unrestrained emotion. It's like a punch to the gut. You held nothing back and the risk was well worth the reward.
