mine alone

a bit dark

in a sorrowful cathedral of spiraling iniquitous intentions,

an infatuated goblin sits gazing at the crumbs of a devoured vision

trickling through its crooked fingers again and again.    taunting.

 

guts turn to tangled serpents that constantly knot and squirm.

lust sobs, then seeks and consumes all light    affection    weakness.

vengeance bares its wet teeth as it gazes at a photo of a smile;

 

your beautiful smile. before it became the corpse of my hope.

I see you through the window    through the keyhole    from the bushes,

and I want to embrace you until you crumble in my arms.

 

the goblin giggle echoes the hollow chambers of my burned out core.

if your sweetness is not meant for my tongue, then I will sour it for all others.

at a table carved of anguish, I will eat the velvety heart that betrayed me.

 

you

 

are

 

mine alone.

Blimey! lol
Now, words escape me for this love, I have to be honest! lol I am putting my hands up and smiling, now thats a hit lol Brilliantly vivid, metaphor oozes through the screen here, everything that you could have breathed life into in this pain trail is there! Feels kind of like a Shelley lingering too :)
Awesome, one of your best love

If your sweetness is not ment for my tonuge, then I will sour it for all others.
Favorite line!! Stalker poem at that, excellent my friend!

wow very creepy, chilling almost, your stark descriptions paint a horrid picture, the spaced out you are mine alone - almost as if the realisation is dawning upon us - great!!

A stark portrait of obsession. It gave me chills to read because I know it isn't fantasy. Ugly goblins reside in too many brains, licking their lips with predatory greed.
Those last lines are terrifying.
