Abstract Twins

 

Their eye color is the same

but the way they stare

reflects differently in the mirror…

One intense enough

to start a wildfire,

the other so calculating

it could freeze hell over.

When they run their hands

down my body

I get the same erotic sensation,

it is the fingerprints they leave behind

that distinguishes their intentions…

While one leaves a tingling aftershock

the other dirties my senses

enough to make my skin crawl

six feet under.

It is hard to believe

that identical images

could create two distinctly

different interpretations.

When she leans slowly in

my lips tremble with

anticipation and fear

not knowing whether

 the next kiss

will fill my heart up

or bleed it dry.

~ this is a very powerful piece of writing... it fills me with fear for such people... and i really needed to read it because sadly i don't know what the world is truly like... i never used to acknowledge the presence of such characters... now, when i have to face them, i'm shocked... so, this post is of educational value to me, monsieur... i know two sisters on this site... one has blocked me and the other hasn't... and though in this post, you say that one of the twins is capable of filling your heart, my guess is that in reality they're just playing good cop and bad cop and both will turn out to be parasitic...

THis would be quite an erotic experience...

No doubt, I think living on the edge always is.

I love dark poems like this of dualities and sinister sensuality. "it is the fingerprints they leave behind that distinguishes their intentions" a very sharp perception.. deadly in its accuracy. A marvelous, titillating write... the last three lines especially knocks the wind out of my lungs.

WOW... thank you so much, I am flattered by your review... a tender touch is nice but a wicked sensation can be intoxicating.

[Circe]

yes you have achieved that here! :)
