Bittersweet Rose

by mookoo   May 8, 2006


My body curls as sharp pains run along my spine
fur bristles and grows and a long tail twines
my due to the enslaving moon as it wanes
ugly as my face protrudes vicious and plain

some girl I am, love me not in my life hidden
who could even to look me, better be ridden
till my eyes fall upon him, writing their own betrayl
can infatuation run as deep as blood trails?

and when I change back and rest upon my bed
my emotions stain and leave heavy dread
he hasnt the knowledge of my existence
suspicions left to be cast in my presence

as I dwindle away my forever in my fortress
hugging my pillow, in dreams to caress
tracing my fingers across the banister
forget me not, wicked in my fury, a monster

stunted by ambition, I flutter to the door
unknown are the territories I wish to explore
my lithe body steps cleanly towards the forest
through the soft shadowy dew-strewn mist

upon a soft your scent dances across my nose
your bodily perfume bittersweet like a rose
can you be but a figment of my imagination?
playing with my mind in a false sense of elation

I watch from afar as you glance at the trees
lost in your own thoughts and memories
you are the epitome of perfection
your soft features in gorgeous proportion

eradicate me from this earth at your will
I offer no resistence if you wish to kill
I freeze as the lightest twigs cracks beneath
you swirl in my direction like a fallen leaf

as warm smile meets your eyes in my facade
I want to run and wish I had but never strayed
but you approach without glance at my unease
my posture erected as you must leave tease

but you look upon me with dire innocence
in my neck high lie at almost wrench
with words you flourish me for feelings returned
unknowing of the intensity already burned

kiss me with strong lips instead of dawdling
lust urges me, an animal into fondling
can he seriously consider what he does?
as actions become a blurry fuzz

I awake in his arms upon his strapping chest
as a heavy moon rises and a shrill pain rests
his eyes rest comfortingly upon me
first unseeing of the changes setting free

I push my face into his scent in attempt
to stop the change for my own selfish contempt
as he turns from comforting to enraging
urges to rip flesh and maul begin to engage

heavy claws grow before he even realizes
rushing from his pounding blood of disguise
as I begin to wish it flow down my throat
his beautiful eyes gleam distraught

he runs without a pause in confusion
at my sudden bodily transformation and fusion
I resist to chase him like fresh prey
my animal half wishing he would stay

time passes in my trance at events to follow
worry gripping my throat, unable to swallow
will he be driven to murder or understanding?
my harsh reality, no more pretending

as he stumbles back through the brush
holding a gun at stance, hair tumbled lush
I havent moved and he carefully advances
I make bittersweet eye contact under trance

could he but shoot and destroy my contradiction?
lost in my despairing tale of fiction
but he holds my eyes with his own sadness
unable to pull the trigger or run, just useless

a soft tear echoes the pain ripping at my chest
running a stake through this tale you digest
my bones creak and he steps back in fear
as I fall to knees, weakened human pure

naked under the eye, I weep his defense gone
he comes to step above me, gun on the lawn
my eyes portray the explosion I feel
under the silence, wishing to scream, writhe and reel

he still bends down and caresses my quivering back
at this unexpected unbroken kindness I retract
could he destroy me and leave me bleeding, dying?
instead he wraps me in his arms and together we lie

he brings my lips to his and leaves a soft kiss
soft feeling emerging in my heartache of bliss
he whispers, â??I love you, my rose, past the shadows,
for past every sharp exterior is lightened with petals.â??
