The Man Of My Dreams, Or The Vampire Of My Nightmares

by HidinVictim   Aug 18, 2009


With lips like glass
You graze across my soul
I can only hope
My willingness to give
Works like chapped stick
Softening your lips

Your hard style
And seductive eyes
Fill this blue heart
With the urge to live
Let the gods
Teach me to forgive

I willingly release
All that was once me
And allow rough hands
To sweep me to the shadows
For you I'll live in forbidden lands
To make this blue heart

Beat again.

    "With lips like glass
    You graze across my soul"

    This was an interesting simile, I didn't really see the meaning behind it, it just didn't seem to fit. It just didn't relate much.

    "I can only hope
    My willingness to give
    Works like chapped stick
    Softening your glassy lips"

    The third line would be better off re-worded, I just didn't get much into it.

    Also, in the fourth line, you already wrote "glass" earlier, so "glassy" ruined it for me.

    I really didn't feel much so far, the emotion just isn't there.

    "Your hard style
    And seductive eyes
    Fill this blue heart
    With the urge to live
    Let the gods
    Teach me to forgive"

    This was unique, I did quite like the wording here and how you were asking the gods to teach you to forive, expressed-well.

    "I willingly release
    All that was once me
    And allow rough hands
    To sweep me to the shadows
    For you I'll live in forbidden lands
    To make this blue heart

    Beat again."

    The ending was great, it had me wanting more, since this poem was a bit short actually to me. Just my opinion. Great imagery though, I definetly felt more towards the ending, it just struck me.

    4/5 from me, I think the beginning could be worked on but the rest was descriptive and original. God bless you, Child of God!
