love lies bleeding

love lies bleeding

bulletproof heart,

yet you had those damn darts

that penetrate a cop's armor

and i never even wore a badge

just the blue.

Excellent use of metaphor Jacob. I find this so true and personal. Relevant to a great many I would hazard.

Very nice metaphors here. Colors carry deeper meanings and you are able to imply much with few words. Plus, you hit on a controversial social issue of the day. This is worthy of the archives.

Who doesn't know this feeling? Nicely expressed, I particularly like the title, really draws me in.

love always bleeds esp. when it's ecstatically encountered by some sugar & crisped vibes of mystic heart. there's nothing that can stop it not to get bled, but bleed in what? -- either in the pang of love or to the pleasure of beautiful true lies spoken to soul. very deep imagery u portraying here around.

thanks, Adams..appreciate your visit and words.
