Fireflies tempt you.

Kill the lights you beg of me,

But I never will.

*

You plead helplessly.

Clench my arms with broken fists.

Eyes of fireflies.

*

Drink my cruelty.

Heart I have not and want not,

And yours is of rust.

*

Fireflies haunt you.

Cold, merciless fireflies

Fill your lovesick mind.

*

Now taste my poison

And lick your faded lips dry.

I know sadistic.

*

Watch the flowers wilt.

I'll meet you in our garden

For one last embrace.

*

Fireflies kill you,

Casanova Frankenstein,

Scream yourself to sleep!

*

You'll never have me.

Fireflies aren't porcelain,

So sleep tight darling.

Author's Note

Alice Oiseau
The entire poem is composed of haikus.
The sinister side of Alice. Thoughts?

Casanova Frankenstein.. scream yourself to sleep is brilliant.. you can feel the cold chilly reception to an unwanted love!!! Good work and look forward to reading more about you..

You are pretty intense in this poem.

A novel idea building your poem of haikus, but
you got the message across, loud and clear.

Your writing is splendid. You carry a distinct
message while using few words.

Brilliant !
