She Talks In Her Sleep

by Melpomene   Apr 24, 2008


Tranquil darts dance within eye lids of color,
Licking blue veins which caress burning pupils,
Dream catches tear as demons ignite lullabies,
Drenching vulnerable lips within emerald venom.

She talks in her sleep igniting feathers alight,
Pulled on a string while tasting scarlett fruit,
Poisoned within desires of a painted world war,
Fighting off the fireballs intoxicating her tongue.

Zig zagged star hearts bite brittle broken lines,
As shards of violet glass rest upon floor boards,
Tossing then turning entwined with cotton sheets,
Demons choke lullabies for she talks in her sleep.

    These ending lines are gripping. And I feel the need to say them over and over again because they really do fascinate my tongue the way they flow so freely.

    I really do love how your poetry isn't filled with filler words and each line is direct and impacting.

    Wow...
    Impressive poem. The imagery within each stanza is breathtaking and endlessly outstanding. I really don't know what to say in front of such poetical beauty that you portrayed. I deeply enjoyed in each line and I could feel everything that you expressed here. Your dark poetry never fails to amaze me. The metaphors that you used are fantastic, too.
    Every stanza is so vivid and the atmosphere that you created is eerie and haunting yet brilliant and truly captivating.

    ^Wow! Beautiful! So captivating description and your choice of words is fantastic, whole imagery here is outstanding, I really can't say where you got idea for writing something amazing as this.

    -She talks in her sleep igniting feathers alight,
    Pulled on a string while tasting scarlett fruit,
    Poisoned within desires of a painted world war,
    Fighting off the fireballs intoxicating her tongue.-

    ^Brilliant write, each line, wow! I truly admire your ability to write like this, whole stanza is so compact and it kept my attention totally.
    Though scarlett should be scarlet
    and you used word -ignite- in first stanza too but that was maybe for purpose.

    -Zig zagged star hearts bite brittle broken lines,
    As shards of violet glass rest upon floor boards,
    Tossing then turning entwined with cotton sheets,
    Demons choke lullabies for she talks in her sleep. -

    ^Amazingly written! You honestly stunned me here, this is my favorite stanza, so remarkable and I really think that pictures of this lines will remain in my mind for some time.

    I cannot express enough how much this piece fascinated me. I am so glad that I read it, I stared in a page couple of minutes before I found words to write this comment. This is one of pieces which belong to the poems in which I found something closest to poetic perfection.

    I also think that you made so strong and deep connection between poem and it's title and ending is mind-blowing.
