Cold Bones

Cold bones, 
they condone  
fragile souls,  
the ruche ruffles  
creasing seams 
delicately hiding  
behind sleek transparency.

Cold bones, 
compacted marrow, 
limp spine, 
held together 
by meager  
strings of twine, 
meticulously alined, 
then combined with 
rubber joints.

Cold bones, 
mind, body, soul 
alone 
with treachery, 
in cryptic cemeteries 
secretly leering,  
sneering, 
waiting 
for you.

I really enjoy cryptic poetry and stories that send an unexpected shiver up my spine, and this one certainly qualifies! Very, VERY well penned. Flawless flow and execution. This is a fave of mine...

Wow, this was a very good read. I love your repetition usage "cold bones" beginning in every stanza. This really high-lighted the feeling of your work. Keep up the great work:) -Cord

Rubber joints . . . Absolutely creepy, and the precise subject that keeps my attention. If that makes sense.

[demureminds]

Thanks and yes it makes complete sense!
