Description
I close my eyesYour image still fresh
Your beautiful face
Burning into my mind
Acid
Eating the tissues
That sustain my sanity
I cover my ears
Your words still ringing
Your angelic voice
Running through my veins
Venom
Paralyzing the muscles
That sustain my control
I hold my breath
Your scent still powerful
Your intoxicating pheromones
Crashing into my body
Weight
Snapping the bones
That sustain my temple
I surrender my consciousness
Your touch still tingling
Your velvet skin
Piercing through my flesh
Blade
Spilling the organs
That sustain my existence
I swallow my tongue
Your taste still overwhelming
Your ambrosial flavor
Driving into my chest
Bullet
Lacerating the soul
That sustains my heart

Very painful! Your description of the emotion saddens me, wakes my senses, makes me feel the agony as well as the sensual side of obsession.
Excellent!!

That is a fantabulous poem! I like how you end every verse with something being destroyed that sustains you. A great display of emotions and senses. The drawing works well with it. Oh, and people, I just started putting some poems in my gallery, so if someone wants to read some poems, I'm open to comments about my poetry.

I admit the pic is what drew me in, it's an awesome pic. But your poem...OMFG! It's awesome! I agree with what ~britt said about the positive/negative aspect. I can't add anything to what the previous commenters have said. All I can say is... LET'S GO MAKE BABIES! LOL, j/k- but this poem is *bleepin* great! I love it!

Even this is not your image, it's still a great poem and the picture does flow with it. I don't think that because this picture isn't truly yours that you shouldn't use it. You can't be everything in life and alot of poets can't necessarely draw or paint, so it's obvious to say you'd need other artists to do them for you.
As for your poem, I love the scenery you give. It seems as though you're trying less to try covering your words in metaphores but given more of a feeling to it. I don't see too many poems like this.
Good work!

britt [2003-05-20 01:57:00 +0000 UTC]
Wow, wonderful contrast used. Positives stated in the beginning of the stanzas and ending with a negative image. Something like love/pain aspect. Really enjoy this. And think it can represent a few different things as well. Easily substitute in subjects to see it in my perspective too. (women aren't the only painful things to love) Luis Royo's piece is pretty fitting, I think. Except it's a tad more erotic than romantic, but think eroticism and romanticism is tied closely with the Spanish. (don't bash me for stereotyping! I have a heavy Spanish background myself!) Sorry for rambling!
A link for more of Royo's work, quite shocked noone noticed or was sure this was his! [link]

excellent poem.
i rarely comment on poetry, because i'm not very good at getting the point.
but that made me want to cry, laugh, and kiss at the same time.
that's what poetry is about, isn't it?
i loved it. i'll fav it. for sure.
first time ever
