still water (35 years later)

still water (35 years later)

 

 

 

the blue eyes deep and dark

now stone cold

like the blue diamond in her ring

and the blue marks on her neck

 

strands of hair in a trunk

her beautiful features lie in state

as he marks his territory

in a prison cell 

just as his heart gives out

 

and her spirit smiles

from a bar stool in heaven

 

and her mother cuddles 

with an angora sweater

 

they found on the bank

that night

lying next to the weeping willow.

That's what i'm talkin' 'bout, man! Long last desperation, lust, hunger, pleasure in the name of pain, bdsm, bondage, machinery sex, anal hardcore... & on & on... is always above love in the eye of "people" which is barely so true. Too many souls getting crushed; numerous hearts getting slain, eaten & hurt across the trespass of world, but... nothing goes changed, not so lame to find peace cos peace is found in them though they finding it in the flesh of ladies.

Some women love getting punished
so some not
Some men enjoy having bdsm
so some not
but everyone is in the race... to winning their love
before they woke up their eyes,
it's become too late even to wipe off the tears from the heart.

People don't realise what they doing in love. Love's contradictory so is its norms and people only know what's love but don't realise what exactly it brings. Ah... there's no control, resulting, rape, violence, cunninglus, hardcore, cheating, betrayal or what else... ? Just soothing the hunger with the lull of ladies moan, no matter if it's not a lull but a scream men love. Ah.. so much wickedness!!

Enjoyed reading ur poetry. Certainty, one of my fav. Seemed, u telling how a lady - a prostitute - is stuck in prostitution & getting indulged by her own past even 35 years later, though, eventually. Brilliant!

a tragic crime - this is a rape case/a murder, noh? love especially the first and last stanzas - very well captured crime scene, a picture of grief, of a life's destruction

regards,
