Poems - becoming eve

becoming eve

by Worm

Bouts of anger beset my soul
tear the rotting flesh from bone.
Long I have known this trance
my fingers dance
digging deep,
dead eyes hollow - dark.

Succumb to pain
I know no fear
upon my cheek a single tear.
Is Love not the same as euphoric heat
pulsing through my veins?
These devils upon my back
at times pull tight their suffocating reins.

Like a marionette -
this macabre smile gracing my features.
Like the plague -
memories of better days.
Age old,
every hour becoming vague.

Am I the cause of putrid wishes?
This night the gift received
(gift or curse?)
dungeons within.
Trace my body with hypnotic kisses.

Another cigarette lit marks them-
my prayers.
See twelve dead conversations in this marble ashtray.

Take me apart
- tear limb from limb,
paint in blood
my words of sin.

Receive me now as defeated I stand
upturned my palms.
To the bone naked-
Eve's forbidden apple
engraved in my hand.

Your words is poetically
dark that your mind goes
deeper like you entering
the abyss. I really enjoyed
reading your poem. Your poem is
very naked. Smile

This poem holds so much presence, in such precision, and leaves me re-reading like a deer caught in the headlights.

The title drew me in and the poem lived up to it.

"Take me apart
- tear limb from limb,
paint in blood
my words of sin."

"Another cigarette lit marks them-
my prayers.
See twelve dead conversations in this marble ashtray."
