Hanging by fingers,
delicate, yellow temptress
dangles black poison.
******* Tree, Indian Laburnam,a distant relative of the genus Laburnum or Goldenchain Tree.
All parts of the Laburnam are poisonous, not just the black seeds found in pea-like pods after flowering.
Famously suspected of being used as poison in Daphne Du Mauriers novel, My Cousin Rachel.


If you expected something else, tut! tut! but thanks for the read :)

Playtime confetti;
Blossom floats on warm spring breeze,
a little girls dream.
Memories of collecting 'confetti' with my friends for imaginary weddings to some quite horrified boys in the playground at school.

I smile ...
We were 5
Didn't we all do that once?

And yes, Paul, I'm crying!

Inamorata...
Tilly May 2012
Gift wrapped,
so softly,
she
wishes
the touch of her lips
to fall upon his deepest dreams .

Gilded,
so delicately,
she
wants
memories of her fingers
to join his own on naked skin .

Smoothly,
so wholly,
she
welcomes
thoughts of his arms
wrapped around her.

Beribboned,
so gently,
she
wafts
scents of her hair
into his every waking moment.

Spoken,
so temptingly,
she
whispers
words of her heart
to ease his longing
from afar.

Wantonly, she waits.

The silent poetess... (4:20)
Tilly May 2012
Poetic carnal carnage,
unwords his beautiful muses;
once laid by mirages, penned paper promises.
A bound volume of goodbye *****.
Unladylike to swear? Would you like apologies?

"I shan't denounce my act,"said the poetess, finding her voice again, "twas so beautifully done."

London Levee Love (10w)

Cadesus and tridents.Entwined illumination;
Bejewelled heartstrings,
twisting within me.
My favourite walk after dark,
still to be shared

Clearer Skies...(4:20)
Tilly May 2012
Perfectly still, this calmness,
after such a beautiful storm; Cast skyward,
observe this changing sky.
Watch the Sun slowly reappear.
Always trying to head towards the light.
"Ouch!" said the moth,
"Wrong way!"

Teeth bite the flesh
of the
apple
inviting

the explosion
of taste

bliss

not
denying

the
fragrant smell
of the juice underlying

it covers my tongue
like
a princess
I'm dying.

It took
just one bite
fruit poisoned
with lying.

The sleep
will be welcome
when I'm over the crying.

Once
cherished apple
can rot in my hand.

As I wait
for the kiss
of a non
hiss
Serpent
man.
Inspired by Jelords poem about happy ever afters, which made me properly laugh out loud x
I still Believe though...
I do, I do, I do

Tilly May 2012
Always foolish,worthless excuses, empty words
whispered promises, so easily fell,  
lips
hushing all doubts:doubts all hushing
lips
fell easily so, promises whispered, words empty,
excuses worthless, foolish always.

Our hearts will match such thunder,
from hooves; such gentle neighs.
As time approaches slowly;
An ending to this pain.

A perfect dance...
Tilly May 2012
Heartbeats will quicken,
as breathing slows.

We are dancing again.

In your smiling blue eyes,
I am reminded of who I am to you;
where we have been, my love,
dreams we are making.
Places in our hearts,
we are yet to explore.

Together in harmony.

I can still taste you,
sweet gentle kisses;
still lingering long
after they stole my heart

Forever.

Let the dance carry us,
when absence makes our feet heavy
on this beautiful journey of two.


*Set us to 3/4 time.

Awoken, slowly stretching,
her dark spots remain the same;
prefers breakfasting upon naked flesh,
claws mark her wanton claim.
she sleeps  
unless/until
some fool wakes her!

Remembering that amongst the dark there is always light ..
and sometimes you need a light hearted take on it :)

Entitled! to my opinion..
Tilly Apr 2012
Exploding!
.. as it does these days
from lovely little me.
Both lovers verse and vitriol
are flowing out in seas.
Erupting!*
.. she's this lioness
with lap top on her knee.
Exposing!
thoughts in black & white
for ALL the World to see.

Everything is given.
How sorry should I be?

When
Search Engines find her roaring.

"Who
does she write about?"

So with poetic justice, I'm busted!

Why*
the truth hurts
without a doubt!
Inspired by my charming walking companion, Edward, after his comments on Single Mamma Swag :)
I wanted to explore the difference between writing me and me (She and I) and the possible consequences thereafter.

**** and Blast! that Save poem as 'Public' button  ...

Single Mamma Swag...
Tilly Mar 2012
Deadbeat dad,
you can't compete with the patter of tiny feet.

Forever...
Shall I strive to be Mum & Dad in spite of thee.

You had your chance and made your choice
(..."and missed so much" in the saddest voice).

So distant, both in words and deeds,
both empty since you sowed the seed.

He was made with love, only mine.
So listen now...
We'll be just fine!

Tangled...
Tilly Mar 2012
Fragile but deadly.
The early morning dew glistens on the spiders web.

I understand that spider more each passing day,
as our own web slowly grows.

Uniquely beautiful she caught us willingly
with her true realities ignored.

Collecting the tiniest of details,
we decorated the silken strands with our memories and dreams,

Tangled in the bejewelled abyss is where we'll wait,
amongst our pleasure and the poison.

— The End —
