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.

This was honestly poetic genius. I can't pick a favorite portion. Great job on this one. It seems inspired by a person, and not just written for writing's sake.

[Sunni Davis]

Love has alot of risks but it can also be a wonderful experience. I happen to be a hopeless romantic so I tend to view things with a dreamy heart but I appreciated the cynical viewpoints of your poem.

A cautious heart, you show us that love is a game not to be played to lose. Good poem my friend.
