dragon my kitten

a rabid love poem with rabbit ears and two story teeth

dragon my kitten

 

dragon my kitten

with propane blue shards from those

broken portal eyes

 

I’ll be your pilot flame game

when you salivate gasoline

make the lush green dance blushed red

make the trickle blue crawl thick black

 

swim jagged mountain fear

to visceral depths of fingers on skin

push the needle in slow " past empty

faster!

        blast her!

                    master!

splintered bones rolled and slapped

body-clap rhythm of naked prey

pray for thin-sliced mercy served cold  

 

scroll down meaty paragraphs

savage my deep mind wound

sink!

       think!

               ink pen-

             etrate meaning with your busy

                           heretical tongue

 

bust me open - piñata candy

slithers smoky sunrise screams

to a sea of eye lash tickle

rise!

      thighs!

                high

and falling repetition

like bombs slapping down buildings

stone to sand to glass

 

dragon my kitten

with propane blue shards from those

broken portal eyes

 

leave

leaves in ash

Levis shredded

 

love never walked into the bar

but you drank it all night

from my jugular tap

tap! tap! on the coffin

when you’re ready to kill me again

 

again! again! again!

 

goodnight

Hahaha! Such savagery in love poetry! Where's the gently lapping wave, the perfume of flower petals strewn on satin sheets? Anyone would think love leads to sexual activity...

AWESOME! I am not sure whether to feel sensual...lashed or totally surreal! lol
You always make me think love and as always....a fan of your style...love it!
Last stanza nailed it damn good for me! :)

"love never walked into the bar
but you drank it all night"

The play on words and the rhyme scheme are just awesome. Wonderful write.

I have missed your poems, SK. I regret the time it has taken me to respond to your RRs, but I hope you can forgive the delay. :)

The first stanza is brilliant. I feel like every time I wander across one of your poems without looking both ways first, you come barreling down the road from one direction or the other in a semi-truck you set on fire for the occasion. The beautiful thing is that, despite the greatness I have come to expect, you always manage to surprise me and run me the f**k over all the same.

Great repetition here. I like your use of format and onomatopoeia. Your poems and stories are all embedded with something else that is deeper, because you aren't just coming right out and saying everything. You are one of my favorite writers on here!
