4 The Entrancing Executioner

User Rating:

10.0 /10
(11 votes)



  Her ravishing slim body! !
A Curvaceous Disneyland
Filled with glittering swords,
Stilettos, Daggers and chainsaws

Her Hazel flashy eyelashes
Are but whips, which slash
My face, slap my ugly chin
Entrap me in a world grim

Her soft ever so lovely bosom
Covered with glittering amour,
Blinding and gagging my eyes
Sending a shiver up my spine

Her golden, smooth Hands
Are but shining steel swords
Cracking my head, slitting my ribs
Wonder whether it will ever be knit? ? ?

Her legs are but shining pillars
Crashes, dashes and chopps
My head. makes me swim and swirl
In a whirlpool of red hot oil

Her hair is, but silky barb wire
Damn hot! ! she is making a pyre
With her matchstick like fingers
The punishment, the death sentence

She is but a charming princess
Setting a BED, with sleek fingers
With her silky warm crispy syringes
Injecting coldness, my body hinges

The bloody bed, filled with canons
Pistols, muskets, guns and field mines
Bed sheet, is but a nuclear layer crust
Oh gosh! ! She is making my death bed

The execution, my doomsday at hand! !
I am but a prisoner, the dreaded judgment
Waiting to be killed, by the sword of her might
Kill me quickly.. do not care, whether I am sent to heaven or hell’s plight! ! ! !

You have a great way of showing your feelings Shas. Good work
  Yacov Mitchenko  (9/18/2009 7:13:00 AM)

This poem definitely has excellent lines. Others perhaps are a little melodramatic. Be careful: 'Shiver up my spine' is a cliche. The last line, though not perfect, is very strong and memorable. The end rhyme is forced, but the line does resonate. You have a lot of passion, and I respect that. Again, I see your dramatic imagination at play. Interesting read.

You may want to look at my poem 'You're Lying There Still Asleep'.

Love young or mature...has those emotions which lock one into a roller coaster...
