Barbwire love

Sometimes you can't help yourself

　

                                     Barbwire love

 

They told me to run,

Hide away from your hypnotic lure,

Like a magnet you pull me,

Away from every logical thought,

The sound of your voice whispering my name,

Ushers me into the arms of insanity.

 

We clash like fire and ice,

Every heated word effective foreplay,

Your touch it sears and runs deep,

Till you are like a fever raging in my blood,

I would drain my veins,

If it would cure my affliction.

 

I am everything you want,

But nothing you need,

You are my weakness and as the pendulum swings,

I bring you to your knees,

Wrong or right,right or wrong

Together,both or neither.

 

You have etched your name,

Across my heart, my soul,my psyche.

And claimed me as yours,

Branded for eternity ,

Imprisoned by our barbed wire love,

Felled by its double edged sword.

This was a wonderful poem of how we become entrapped in the devil's dance where barbwire reigns but there are no doors. I especially liked how you used the pendulum and the inevitable suffering caused by the siren of the double-edged sword. This is a very powerful poem.

Thank you Blue for this lovely review :)

Why sorry dear, it was powerfully passionate
Your touch it sears and runs deep,
Till you are like a fever raging in my blood,
I would drain my veins,
If it would cure my affliction.

Wow. It must be out of this world to feel barbwire love

Bittersweet and even painful at times, yet the heart wants what the heart wants.
Love this one my friend.
