Noose and Words

Capture your thoughts, crystallize them, it`s what it takes to be a poet.

Poetry is a noose for words, lynch them,

hold them accountable for your thoughts. Scream them,

silence the world

 

 

your'e pretty in the face, up close and personal.

Candle waxed lover, your'e the general manager of silk.

Wafer nosed and all, island breeze in the sack.

 

 

I give you my word?

Not.

 Could be a liar.

You also could be cursed.

This line, we're just a circle,

 

your'e a pretty face, the perfect circle.

all my kings, meet me as if gutless, until I take the power of the powerful man,

 

in a swirl of cotton and brown sugar.

 

 "You could never be this sweet," i said to each of them.

 

 

Or so i thought.

Ahh this is a real poet's poem, felt this one tightening around my neck...or so we all think.

'in a swirl of cotton and brown sugar'

Love that line and the way your mind works....

I like the analogy of a noose to "lynch" words - excellent. "candle waxed lover, youre the general manager of silk" - an elegant way to describe someone or something. The final stanza raises questions and doubts, presume a relationship perhaps. To "take the power of a powerful man" is quite a statement. Love it :) Penny

you've written a poem about words and our use of them and in the end i am getting all hot and bothered ... you are a temptress and have thrown the noose around my neck dear one ... but i see in the end her power has tricked her ... so her heart belongs to another perhaps ... :(
love ya Kleio
