La Petite Mort of Creativity

entry picture

Let me bleed out a moment’s release,

from this contemptible inner peace.

 

my tears are too clear of midnight ink,

my thoughts are apathetic and indistinct.

 

I look for omens, cracks in bedroom mirrors,

for owls, magpies - among nests of unfamiliar

 

I churlishly spread my coquettish legs

seducing any passing stranger’s death.

 

To be touched - trembled by fingers of grief,

so I can weave a wanton poetic wreath

 

I call all gods to bring me a sultry storm,

traumas to ride wild into rhythm and form.

 

I hunger for blood of an illicit lover’s return

to break open my heart, leave me spurned,

filling this barren womb with words

that haven’t been born, read, or heard.

This is very interesting and mystical poem. I liked it very much; especially the use of vocabulary and rhyming techniques. But overall, I thought it was a marvelous poem.

Words to be born
read with uttermost seduction
poetry that will ravish
body yearning for love
now satisfaction is overflowing
in pure gothic blood.

This is lovely Katy but makes me feel it is more a song than a poem. Particularly like the opening line
