How To Exterminate Angels

How To Exterminate Angels

 

Yearning to be amongst the most fragile decadence 

we keep our love unprotected against the circling tides

gleaming of a magical prosperity. 

A metal rainbow is planted in your cerebellum 

causing you to spit in the ovaries of flowers

to keep their embryos from withering away. 

Romantic messages become static impulses

her smile becomes tar-soaked and stained.. 

The devil is looking for a persuasive catalyst 

a tainted chastity to do his malevolent bane 

and something thats able to soak blood through the purest white. 

The bedsheets can swallow their silent secrets 

deflowered in the company of a undiscerning seraph

and smelling like the sent of dopamine. 

Well stitched with our most potent incompetence 

loving the ultraviolet is an unforgivable sin, my love.

Yes, a good poem! First of all, I love the title. It's shocking, in that it is deliberately halo breaking. The whole piece bangs with sex, discovery, and dark understanding. To deflower, to deconstruct the Western ideals of the pure girl. Some brilliant imagery and combinations, like:


The bedsheets can swallow their silent secrets
deflowered in the company of a undiscerning seraph
and smelling like the sent of dopamine.

Enjoyed it. Going to read more..

Angels and demons, the eternal life versus the experience of death...characters in a play that is way beyond the simple notions of good and bad. It is at the heart of the embryo and even when it doesn't speak, it is still the epitome of all that is true and all that works. But when it puts itself to communication, it causes many a frown and surprise until we learn what all that is about.

Are you gonna try that on me? It doesn't work. Poetry flows beautifully though, even though it gets very banal when you mention the devil. Us angels fear not ye foul beasties and demonspawn.
