Paradise Lost

Paper hearts.

No paper clips.

Just paper cuts.

Tin cups and string nights

connected and collected

like thoughts of the

darkest and enlightened plots.

A sword to fall on; such as,

a poets lust.

Yikes!

-Was her reply.

We both believed in the power of magic.

So hungry for the knowledge to provide one another,

but we were only willing to share half of the brain.

So Divine;

yet,

tragic.

The view...

Of your soul

was solely my food.

Causing me to sleepwalk through

dewy slumbers

with nothing to remember.

Drowning...

But finally,

your heart has been unveiled

as a cloud of omens.

I mean amens.

A love cursed,

yet blessed.

I dare you to love me.

Paper cuts hurt, they are so sharp and you should never give your soul away to anyone in my opinion. The last four lines of your poem I found intriguing. Your poetry is quite unique.

What if I'm numb to the hurt?

[Chris Shaw]

If you are numb to hurt, you have built yourself some mighty barricades in my opinion. Armour made of steel protecting that heart of yours.

[sinNsincerity]

Or maybe I took off the armor and destroyed the barricades to take the blows head on...

[Chris Shaw]

Then you are a glutton for punishment (lol)

[sinNsincerity]

Or maybe I just love too much...

[Chris Shaw]

Only you will know that.
