Seeking fortune in the bottom of my tea cup.
From the top lip I sip.
Swillling  my brew.
Debating spitting out,
Ooh, I got confused,
Maybe I thought I was wine tasting,
They say Jesus turned water in to wine.
I had tea, so he didn't touch mine.
There were no tea leaves at the base of my cup.
Do you know why that could possibly be?
I drink coffee, rarely tea.
The error of judgement was made me.
Not a tea leaf in sight.

You get drunk every night
We talk mundane words,
about the stormy weather.
Then we crashed and burned.

Touch of featherdown,

Dresses my skin,

Peachy wrapped in satin,

Love washed from Crimson eyes once imprisoned,

Safe from realms of yesterdays tears,

Heart squashed into cylindrical pendulum,

Swinging in rhythm as metronome beats,

Metronome describes no rhyme or reason,

Just tap, drip, drip annoys,

As tears dry!

Drip drip.
And so it fell.
Water into the well.
Well ,down the sink really.
Okay so the tap washers perished.
The water running free .
So annoying, can't turn it of

Drowning!

From the edge of the rickety ancient boat you slipped.
Hit the water with a near silent splash.
The water is tropical.
Yet.
Sensation of ice nips as your being slows down.
Melancholy of nothingness invades your dying brain.
In shock.
Rapid loss of conscious thought.
Before you drift deeper into unconscious lapse.
A real need to sink or swim.
In self preservation.
One last vain attempt.
The brief pain of realising.
No ground you feel beneath your feet.
Would love to panic.
Your fight's all gone.
In what should have been a desperate panic to save yourself.
You became aware that all was lost.
The bubbles dance to the surface of life support.
As the last bubbles evicted.
Heart breaks down.
Dying in this deluge.
Water.
A salty effusion body's dying rush.
No time to gasp.
No time to cry.
No-one even realised you had died!

Hark, hear me shout.
I'm calling and gasping
My voice rasping.
I'm screaming inside.
I'm wailing without.
Lost and all lonely.
Dear God hear my shout.
I look at my shoes.
There's a hole in the soul.
Bit like my heart,
All full up with hole.
Poor soul.
Poor shoes.
Black velvetish
Feeling quite blue.
Could I love you?
I like to cuddle and touch.
Almost as much as you do.
I'm so very lonesome.
I sense you are too.

Climbed a rubber ladder.
To try and reach the stars.
The luminescent painted stars.
Dropped by angels as they passed.

Down she went falling fast.
A bungee jump to hit the deck.
Bottom of the crevasse.

Whoa.
Up the dainty fairy flew.
Wings made of glass.
Broke down.
Fractured grains of sand.

Along came the caterpillar blowing smoke rings aromatic.
The rings of warming smoke.
Lifted fairy to find the ladder.
****** on his smoke..she was well and truly bladdered.
Her head, well it began to spin.

Started seeing crazy stuff.
The colours bright, the sounds distorted.
Must have been what she last snorted.
Charlie was her best friend.
Once upon a time.
Escaped from a fantasy.
Her head released.
Was flying free.
Within the realms of LSD!

A funny five minutes after a stressy day!
Olivia Kent May 2014
Bitter she is not,
nor sour, not full of griping grapes,
The whisky can stay in the jar,
while those drinking men prop up the bar,
And they stagger and they wager,
They eat unhealthy fries,
and use their eyes to peep at the crumpet,
See that one stood over there,
You know,the one in the red dress, they call her a strumpet,
In the back bar Nelson, tokes his trumpet,
Jim's dog runs around, you knows he's nuts,
Crazy pup,
The bar maid pulls a frothy pint,
The guys in the bar fancy pulling her,
She's classy,
They're rather arsy, not much of a chance,
Those boys are the crazy ones, they live a life of drinkers,
Think they're rather clever tinkers,
Really just a gang of stinkers,
Always on the pull,
Barmaid, she's nobodies fool,
Chicks pull worms!

Duchess!

I was his last duchess.
His lady of honour.
In love I did respect his wishes.
Lost kisses shared.
As the sun rises in the mourning.
The sky cries another tear.
For the yesterdays gone and tomorrows to come.

In eyes, I undressed him.
My mind him dissected.
The image of man.
That man.
Dark lord released.
Shadow melted to the walls.
Within my abode.
Can feel the presence still.
Of he who is not here.

Because I will be his last duchess.
Though I know he doesn't care.
He was my last duke.
My last memory.
Naked pictures.
Saved upon my phone.

Head bowed to her chest.
In a chamber of darkness she's left.
She waits hiding in corners.
As only she can in her obsolete world.
Rocking fro and to.
For she's confused.
Apparently.
Phony facade.

Placating herself with her words.
She rarely speaks.
Her tongue is tied.
Her lips are stitched,
Eyes open wide.
She sits and she watches.
Keen and mean in observation.

He knows what she's about.
As only a loyal servant should.
A man servant.
She takes no prisoners.
He perceives her every thought.
Before each enters her head.
Her brain is full of fire.
Although her body nearly dead.
Slaughtered by love perhaps.

The eroding sea has vicious teeth.
Destroys the endless rocks.
Making doorways impassable to man or beast.
Urging fishes on.
Families watch from cliff top edges as sea trawls on and on.
Ebb and flow online of shore.
Sea swirls around the Lulworth rocks.
As christened "Durdle Door"
(C) LIVVI
I was born in Dorset,  and used to visit this famous landmark from time to time.
"Durdle Door" will stand longer than I shall live and has stood long before my existence.

Come join me sweetheart at the waters edge.
We can dabble our feet in the water that's soothing.
Splash our feet in refreshing water.
We may sit upon grounded  rocks,they look a touch like stranded dolphins.
We can talk to the sound of the sea.
Me and you.
You and me.
There are no cockle shells standing in rows.
Just the fresh aroma of the sea as it crawls up your nares.
Many moments of sentimentality,as together we sit and we breathe in the scent of the sea.
Just me and thee.
The moon rises skyward.
The autumn sun falls down.
Autumn of beaches and stone dolphins, left in front of the falling sun.
Beckoned by the tide.
The pull of the tide is weak tonight.
Come sunrise the dolphins shall still be in sight.
You and I shall say goodbye.
Until the night be gone.
See you soon.
Stone hearted ones.

Some delicious metaphors x
Olivia Kent Aug 2013
In a distant land,
Where the skies hung bedecked in ebony,
With dust clouds strung across the firmament,
Fierce and truly black,
Festooned with the souls of the ancient dead,
From dark worlds they have been evoked,
And so they come,
Their battle banners flying,
Blowing in the once deserted wind.
Deceased came back vengeful,
Their trumpets blaring loud,
From the fields fire from once the demons danced,
Where the devil threw his summons through sulphureous stench of torrid bubbles,
Came to arrest the sullied living to stockpile their immortal souls,
Escort them to forever,
To the land they'll never sleep,
These dripping faces of the these putrescent souls, not yet disintegrated,
Had become mummified, as if sorcery compelled a hand in death's immortal,
defiant alliance.
It was as they knew they would have to hearken to deaths's fatal curtain call!

Got any spare nails for the coffin lid.
Trapped inside as love dies.
Fades away as slit wrists drip.
From here into eternity.
Or maybe to obscurity.

Claret puddle on the floor, just behind the bedroom door.
Will not accept the blame.
For him, he fired the flame.
Broken hearts wrists that broke
Heart running dry.
Wonder why.

Want him not in old oak box.
Nor as a gift to medicine.
The world is hurting.
Wonder why!

Bald as a badger, or at least that's what they said.

In deafening silence the clangers spilled their blue string soup!
While inTrumpton the boys in the fire station rang their fire bells.
The miller was windy in Camberwick Green.
And Bill and Ben.
Well they lived in a grass fuelled happy hippy scene.
With a sweet lady called ****!

Hector lived in his house of fun.
Where he enjoyed his little *****. Zsa Zsa her name,
Gabor perhaps.
Bonjour, one funny frog, amphibian named Kiki.
Hector well he was a dog!

In the garden of the herbs.
Lived a jolly friendly chap.
A lion called Parsley.
What a crazy name was that.
The owl,well he was a sage.
A seer of things to come.
Bourgeoisie in the garden.
Sir Basil and Lady Rosemary.
A pair of toffs with taste!

And they wonder why today.
We poets have a vivid imagination.
Wasn't due to taking drugs.
Was the influence of T.V. on our fair English nation!

You pretty much need to be about 50 years old and to live in England to appreciate this poem!
Olivia Kent Apr 2014
Friday, the sky was blazing hot.
You bore upon your back a cross.
By order of the government, they know not what they do.
In sackcloth and ashes.
Christened with a coronet, made out of vicious thorns.
They hung you out to dry that day.
My, how they made you cry that day.
Nobody stood in their way.
The townsfolk were scared.
Most of them cared.
The soldiers were evil, but compelled by orders.
The evil ones stabbed you as you were hung.
Nailed to your final cross.
That cross you had to bear.
From your crown of thorns blood tears flowed.
The devils from Rome, thought they'd taken control.
As that sky turned black.
Too late to turn back.
The day the Lord was crucified.
Goodness and love for his being denied!

On Sunday,
Amid a strange air he was taken down.
Discreetly interred in a hole in the ground.
A stone rolled in place, he could never be found.

Ebola, a portable killing machine.
No guns or knives.
Don't touch or kiss the devilish *****.
The dog that doesn't bite.
It's not rabid but it kills.
A dark hole brimming with fear.
Traversing through dangerous skies.
Worldwide transgression against all folk.
No joke.

For souls already caught.
I pray you rest in peace.
Under Deathly cape.
Cloak and dagger secrets.
Turning brothers against brothers.
Sisters against man.
The only place of residence chasing this disease.
Mercy be shown by research.
Stand up.
Take care.
Time to find a cure.
Thought zombies only lived in cheap time movies.
Or in the land of voodoo.
Ebola, bringer of the living dead.

Ebony hangs the sky of the world.
A suspension of feeble stars attempt to shine.

May the winter chill ,not fill the feeling.
Emotions be captured,
Upon of this the most blessed season.
The children paint windows upon the future.
May the young ones be the perfect reason.

An echo of the gentle voice of yesterday.
Becomes subtle as a sledgehammer.
Tomorrow smashes the sound barrier as it shatters the clouds of disillusionment.

Last week trapped in cerumen,
Within the sticky ears.
Wax but not candle or bees.
Vibrations ensconced in pretty head.
Voices of the now long dead.

Speech sometimes impediment when the words all come out wrong.
Sweet voices not always the song of birds.
When the voice who needs to speak.
To preach out loud to those unheard.

Hear those echoes.
In the darkness a voice cries out.
Reverberating around the temple walls.
Baby can you hear her .
Can you touch her soul.
Can you feel her heart beating in your hands.
Kisses full.
Linger unrepentant.
In your head.

Became vacant.
Lost in time.
In a blast of septic memory.
Vomiting undigested echoes.
A millstone of last time.
Drowns the minx miss.

Mourn her not.
As she forgot.
Engraved emotions.
Scribbled pencil marks.
For maybe they can be erased.
Scarred perhaps.
Scratched your soul.
Left it grazed.
For eternity and so much more.

Ecstasy in the Morning!

Embrace me.
Make me wet.
Drench me.
Lay with me on the grass in the morning.
Obsess me.
Hide me.
Keep secrets from my eyes.
Bless me with wet kisses.
All over my body.
Waiting for daylight to come.
Autumnal morning.
He falls over himself to cover my body.
Moisture soaked.
Enough to last till noon.
I missed the morning's mist today.
On the train.
No running through the fields.
No playing in early morning mist.
Just another working day!

Bear not your sword.
For we approach Eden.
A creation of passion that drips from thy pen.
Remove thy fragrant shield of fought protestations.
We broke our teeth on those apples.
As serpent of venom, did bite long and hard.
Collected of the hedgerow,  blessed hemlock for peaceful slow death.

My most beautiful friend "Effy" just retired.
She was cute and oh so beautiful.
Been my friend of the very best type.
Travelled the country, close by side.
Seen something's, her eyes open wide.
Seen angels kiss me on the lips.
There all stored deep in her memory.
My friend "Effy", Now I lay you to rest dear friend.
Probably meet up now and then, spend a little time together.
Reminisce over what we miss.
You "Effy" will always have a spot in my heart x
"Effy" is my computer from days of old!
She was labelled "EFFY" because she was really slow, "Effy" was short for f'ing *******, not really a sweet sentiment as you thought x

A captured soul.
Invisible to the naked eye.
Love enchants and ensnares.
That's why we die.
Just an image in a bigger picture.
Main feature is the scheme of life.
We sit  metaphorically naked in corners.
Stealing feelings from those who passed.
We **** the life force from the chill.
The chill of death.
Cries only for a perfect thrill.
But I'm not dying yet.
Totally f**king refuse.
Wishing I was younger,
A hankering.
A hunger.

I have current friends,
Who fill me with surges of fresh  electricity,
When they strum my heartstrings with their melodies.
I have acquaintances.
Who bother to give me the time of day.
Say hello and be on their way.

I had a lover.
Several in fact.
Each unlike any other.
I have social networking friends,
They listen to me, I listen to them.
Most of them, like me,
Put pen to paper.

I have family.
I'm lucky.
Surreptitiously.
They walk through my world.
Giving me new direction.
And sadly,
They hate poetry.

Magenta sunrise.
Icy cold.
Dotted intimately with magnolia dots of sunlight.
Diamond studded.
Fresh is the air this morn.
It's bright.
It's clean.
Almost sterility.
Clean skies.
Let morning sky be not a portent.
Cold air.
Kiss me.

Wearing beauty of piercing blue.
Mingled with green.
From the corner of the eye appeared new life.
Into the arms of the new mother.
The protective all consumed arms of the new father.
Born early, a diminutive child.
All things bright and beautiful, a beautiful hymn.
A poem for you, for a beautiful him.

Embracing His Solace!

In solace mountains scaled.
Solidarity stands strong.
Between two upstanding.
Love matters minimally.
Grace relaxed in cultured elegance.
Company not desired much.

Cries alone.
Dies alone.
Does he moan.
No deals granted.
Pours another escapist drink.
Needed to **** or release the lurking tears.
Forced to descend thy tender cheeks.
Solace found also in my place.

Want no-one to invade my space.
Love freedom to be mine.
Detest freedom myself at times.
Then I to cry.
Flood rivers rarely.
Too selfish to co-exist.
Although your heart and soul I've missed.
No deals wanted.
Love never denied!

A body encases a heart and a mind,
No simpler answer could you ever find,
Look deeper inside,
What lurks within,
Beneath a mantle of silken skin,
Skin with a face that sports a smile,
With eyes that twinkle, sparkles sprinkled,
Some have tresses that glow in the light,
Under the hair, the location of care,
The seat of emotions, locked up in a head,

A neck, slender supports along with a spine,
Arms to hold close, to cosset and care,
Rib cage encases the heart of poetic art,
The heart when she functions, is easily broken,
When love falls apart, it cuts through the heart,

A series of chemical interactions,
Disturbed a great deal by other's reactions,
Bodies are beautiful temples,
A place to retreat,
Bodies need pampering to keep them sweet,
So look after yours well,
Treat it kind,
Respect your body,
Respect your mind!

Wrapped in cloak of darkness,
Heart concealed by tragedy past,
In a subtle tragic denial.
Encased in vibrant dance!

A smile from my heart broken,
Up for repair,
On the way to zenith,
For why do the daughter's question in denial,
That an adult heart can't give or receive love!
They have a chance of new love of their own,

For they cannot see that my mind is truly blown,
Infant daughter tho you care,
Steal your thoughts from my hair,
Let me breathe again,
Please darling children,
'Tis about time to let me fly,

He's feeling,
feeling the brushing of  her eyelashes,
they're stroking his face,
once were wet with tears,
now strokes of thick set mascara,
as next to him she bathes,
she tickles his face with those lashes,
teasing his emotions,
proceeding to hold his face in her hands,
an element of control,
injected only by her steamy fingers,
she's whispering in a taut voice,
"you will love me, I swear you will".
Her fixed china smile,
it's painted in place,
as flesh coloured eggshell,
with slight tint of rouge,
almost a puppet,
He tries to smile,
responds only by snatching her cheeks,
and he replies to her remarks," I would so love to love you back."
but ,baby, I swear I just can't"

A weird dream from a few nights back
Olivia Kent Mar 2015
Living on the road of empty hearts and broken homes.
Got married with a curtain ring.
Ten years ago last Wednesday.
The bride wore royal blue, fashionable thing to do.
She crawled along in heels so high.
Snotty nose sniffing the sky.
Child one came along, I think she said his name was John.
Hated school had no friends.
Hated everyone.
Not her only son.
There after came a daughter,
A pretty gal they named Sapphire.
A gem of a name for a shabby chick.
Soon weighed down with a band of cold.
Got married to a Mormon, who thought he was a merman.
Believed together the two of them had some kind of future.
Played at architecture building castles in the sky.
And playing on the for sure (foreshore) beside the sea of obsolete dreams.
Delivered to the two of them a childish whim.
A child who grew and developed an addiction to sin.
He loved tea and coffee,wine, women and song.
From the broken home he was gone.
The sky castles evaporated,
Family dreams disintegrated.
Dissolution of dreams.
Welcome to austerity.

Dancing with the mermaid upon the sandy shore.
She flicked and tripped her feet away.
Played the scales upon her tail.
With a teaspoon.
Perfectly in perfect time.
Her ******* be bare.
Save for concealment by her neatly placed golden hair.
Of which not a strand fell out of place.
Curling as if medusas' snakes.
He surveyed her.
Closer than he should have done.
A pillar of stone crumbled into pebbles on a sunlit shore.
The mermaid with the fateful allure.
His wife walked the children on the beach.
Skimming flat stones into the foamy brine.
He once was her true love.
Now he is mine.

Wondered what became of her lover.
The one who sold his soul to the striking sea.

Sounds like the end of the world,
apocalyptic horsemen,
wailing in defiance,
house rattles,
on the way to tumbling,
the noise destroys,
the tumbling walls of Babylon,
well, the only holiness here,
is my wholly messy abode,
walls,
truly steeped in cracks,
falling at the racket,
the racket,
is that of a child,
an innocent pure child,
when,
daddy does diaper changing duties.
The whole world is aware!

I care not about being enemies,
for I did nothing wrong
I wanted not war.
Hell I repeat ,
I did nothing wrong.
Friendship fell because you loved.
Allowed your heart to be caught again!
And you know you did!

Friendship is important in all life good and true.
She was the woman of great intentions.
In flower beds she wrote her name.
She was wizened, but wiser.
Wiser with each passing day.

So if enemies we have to be so.
Then so let it be it my fu**ed up friend.
I did not **** you.
Despite the fact you asked me too.
Not part of my agenda.

Goodbye.
God bless may you find peace.
In writes in mind and pen.
And angel words.

Where is it?
The unspoken inertia's setting in.
Searched high and low.
Under the cushions.
Beneath the settee.
On the bus.
In the car.
In my bed.
Must be in my head.
My stamina has gone down the drain.
Such a pain.

I found my answer finally.
Deep in a can of fizzy drink.
Loaded with sugar.
Hell what a ******...
All those calories they buzzed me up.
And then increased my waistline!

In the winter time it grew.
Something sprouted from the land of nothingness.
A cafe near the queen.
In the spring time it became much more.
Summer bought to us warmth and charms.
A talisman of golden dreams.
Day of birth a celebration.
Liased so closely with the queen.
Too know, only two know.
Why from land love was dispatched.
When love the surface only scratched.
Beyond repair
Late summer winds blew and blew.
Love changed colour.
It's cold and so verily blue.

Went and jumped upon a plane, so I could leave this sodden rain.
Left this soggy chilly thrill.
Found myself in Africa.
Suddenly got really warm, being chased by a wild lion, fancied me for tea.
Thought I'd jump another plane, as  that lion set me free.
Found myself in Australia,  where I landed in the sea.
Great white beast with mega teeth made me fly away.
Faster than a rocket could, at the speed of light.
Wasn't sure where to go next, scratched my head and had a think.
Landed in rain forest, it was heavily atmospheric.
Howler monkeys and all their racket, drove me flaming nuts.
Thought out very long and loud, to try to beat their noise.
Leaped back on my aeroplane.
Cruised off through sunny skies.
Back to the English land of drink.
England has it's benefits, or at least that's what they say!

Enigma
What will I do on my last day on earth?
Will it be tragic?
Will it be magic?
Will it be accidental?
Will it be mental?
At the end of my life, what dreams did I hold?
What dreams did I meet?
How many demons did I meet, greet and defeat?
Not going mad or  becoming demented, just had a strange flash on the bus,
Listening to a dude reading loud and proud from his Koran,
got really quite scared as terrorists attack in defence of their religion it seems....
I sit listening to his chants, rambling, his mumbles,
Wondering if I have a chance of romance when my heart is so cold, will I be alone as I take my last breath!
So as I get older my dying day I await
I'm not really feeling terribly great,
One thing for sure, a thought I adore, the chances are I won't see my own dying day!
Well, I hope not anyway!

'Tis such fun there on Sunday,
Monday's rather fun,
she puts on her glad rags before the setting sun,
She dances with babies,
and aged dinosaurs,
especially the old geezer,
who sits in the corner and snores,
he ignores all the noise,
he doesn't moan,
he listens intently in dreams,
to the poets who babble,
he watches the true blood flow,
of the youngsters,
who go to impress their friends,
he sits there snoring,
but he's merely pretending,
takes it all in before his life meets it's ending.
The old chap in the beige flat cap,
with the face of experience,
that's written as a map,
the lines of the motorways,
the creases of smiles,
the eyes rather baggy,
but, still show their smiles,
a lovely chap,
every so often his fingers will tap,
in time with the beat.
It's nearly 11,
the end of the night,
she tried to disturb him,
to bid him good night,
but he doesn't stir,
he met his ending,
never pretending,
that he was getting old,
sat in the club house,
where his body got cold,

He died doing the thing he loved the best,
all going home,
they did bade him respect.

There's a hole in my roof, I know not what to do.
My lamplight is fading, I've worn out my shoes.
Life's at a junction, a crossroads maybe.
From myself,
I must let go,
someone must help save me,
Time to be set free.
Dark alleyways and corners all dragging me in,
First sleep is chasing me and I can't give in.
My pretty eyes shut.
I start the night's battle,
As soon they shut, my how the brain rattles.
I'm stuck on a fence at the top of the world.
Each day another ****** nightmare unfurls.
Like a pennant carried by a chap on an apocalypse horse.
On a course out to fail.
In a yacht with no sail.
Drifting off course and nothing could be worse
I'm alive and I'm well, but this is sheer hell.
In need of support, but feel like it's sport.
I am a fox, please find me a hole!

Tonight I had a bonfire.
Not too good for mother, but very good for me.
Spiralling smoke curled onwards and upwards.
Wanton destruction of old *******.
Garden remnants and excremental furniture.
I feel cleansed.
My garden feels the same as me.
Flickering dancing colours whirl and crack.
Increased space in my garden,
Pleasure be only mine.
My tree is but a little charred, her magnificence it shall survive.
Next spring presenting blossoms and I know that she's alive.
Resilient she be.
My autumn, spring and summer tree.

Here I sit, in my cell,
Looking at my cell,
Realising,
just how beautiful you are,
you were on a high,
high on emotions,
the emotions being love and fun,
Thinking to myself,
how ****** unjust it is,
that I can make you smile,
but, you won't let me in,
your barriers are set in concrete,
anchored to a hellish fear of love,
somehow breaching your pearly gates,
the heaven that I sent you to,
I can't reach you now,
you have shut down,
Your barriers are made from stainless steel,
You just don't want to feel,
Reality,
when it pokes you smartly in the eyes,
listen to me,
for I am wise,
Wizened,
but wise,
And I am always your friend!

A dreadful crossroads.
The devil awaits.
Catching me out for too many mistakes.

Somewhere there's an angel.
She's watching me.
A hell's angel perhaps and she's peeping you see.

Backed into a corner behind the gate.
Work is appalling.
Not feeling so great.
A brain full of stress.
I'm going to explode.
For I am unable to shift this burden,
This terrible load.

It's weighing on my shoulders.
My neck is truly stiff.
Writing is my freedom.
My only escape.
Too personal putting it here.
My job is also my ****.

Drowning in depressive moments,
Amid wild moments of musing, while his body he's abusing,
The lady, that lady sits on the sidelines,
Watching and listening,
Still sat in a field of discontent.
Scratching  poems with her crimson pen.
His liver's not good for serving with onions,
Her pen is crimson, never scarlet,
For this lady's not a harlot.

"They said to the lame man,
Pick up thy bed and walk,
They said to a subject with mental ills,
sort your head out,
pull yourself together,
if you will.

You are not a pair of threadbare curtains,
of that I'm certain,
You are a person.
So,the sorry being picked up a pen,
a perfect catharsis,
a mechanism of honest escape.

Some folk,
well,
they sink into a bottle to drown the pain within,
Others shoot a mainline,
maybe sit upon a train line.
So where should they begin?
None of the three above,

Used a pen,as a trumpeting swan,
Mental illness, pray begone."

Not directly about me x I just find poem writing and reading a relaxing pursuit and as most of you know I love darker writing!

He likes pretty blondes with painted faces.
Long legs, open purses.
Smiles wide, teeth a little like diamante.
Superficial features, almost made of wax.
Melting in the summer's heat
Hot bath makes her glisten.
Friends told her but, she wouldn't listen.

He's just a user, an abuser.
An amuser, who plays with himself regularly.
He'll scribble his name on your bedroom wall.
Reminds you, he's been there before.
Keeps a tally graph, inside his bedroom drawer.

He'll etch his name in scented blood upon your bedstead.
While you're playing with his head.
He'll play with yours as well instead.
In and out of opening doors.
Never ending flirting circles.

Wanted yet another lover, found a blonde.
Another one with a melting face, made out of wax.

You love him, you pay.
That's the only way.
For in the coldest light of day, the plain girl with the auburn hair skin one lovely gets his care and makes his day.
She's another sucker.
Being played as always, by her ever loving leech.
