Tricky Trinkets

Your words come as a warm handshake -
But I need it casual, closer, tighter -
embrace my expectations, take me higher
Go deeper, be wilder.

You like to blow me kisses - please don't.
Wind touches me gently-like
every single second of my life
So praise detail and press your
vanilla lips against mine -
I wanna taste flavoured emotion
What you give me is
mere bittersweet poison.

Whatever you say is argumentable,
but what you do can't escape from being
sheer evidence -
Go on and enjoy the meaning of nothing,
Trapped into memories of hatred.
Love is a myth in hell,
So guess where am I
now.

Little flames from the underground
Never passion - passive conformists,
the dying bland breed.
Summer lovers stuck on the ground -
connection for one season, loveless love
for sale -
You can find it at every corner.


But beware, they shine like gold -
All those tricky trinkets from their
empty souls.

[Richard Williams]

A fine piece, sharply expressed with uniqueness, framed excellently especially by the first and last stanza. Kudos.

This is so true! What more can I say? Anyone can easily relate to this. Good job!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

The truth often falters when broken into conjective wording. I feel the emtion is lost of guarded, like you need freshness to feel liberated. Magical narrative, well done!

[Jess.]

Love this! It speaks the truth.

[MAC]

this explains why you liked my poem. this is an amazing write and WOW are you talented!!! you lend passion to a piece that warns of emptiness and is so works. very pleases to read you!!!

[John Jackson (El Juero)]

I do relate to this. Being lovelorn can be incredibly empty, if one lets it. Longing, disappointment, and fair warning tie this work together nicely.

Enjoyable reading. Thank you!

[The old me]

very deep and well written.

[Patches I'm not so new..]

[Pollyanna]

Very emotionally charged and raw. Excellent job!

Beautiful poem! It touches at feelings. Tugging on them like strings. Very good work. The passion behind your words is amazing.
