I really like how the poem unfolds. some amazing images, and then the final few lines.... powerful. Fate foretold the coming of wars, that carry on forever, of ants and other insects, and men who hate and kill with smiley faces tattooed on their arms, chest, and back; and on their letterheads too.

I come to you in penitence.

I come to you in penitence, with redemption pressed against my lips, bare soled across the arid sands of Shiloh. Beneath, the catacombs enshrine our bones, draped in light and bound by skeletal embrace, We await the veil of flesh to resurrect the naked heart that once quaked Babylon. I come to you i...

Thread the tangled waves

Thread the tangled waves of your midnight curls, where tender dreams are netted and shook free, as my trembling fingertips trace a path of scars to the cradle of your breast. Beneath the rise of flesh your heart echoes and I submit to kneel in silent petition while laurel leaves adorn your feet. For...

Some powerful images here and emotions here. The last verse in particular hits hard "Erotica don't fail me know, all your ropes have worn through and nothing holding me here but tired bones, leaded muscle and drooping viens Make a harp of this body God, already wittled the holes for notes, for your ...

but you are so totally predictable
you waltz in here and waltz out
beg for applause
dole out autographs

slim, he didn't care about applause
he just wanted a piece of gum
and a candy bar


Loved it especially last part...
