Subject: A Crook Like Love
Just my newest poem that I wrote...

I was mugged by beauty
While traveling home,
Walking in a back alley with loneliness
Shuffling my feet to silence
As she crept quietly behind me
In the shadows of suprise.
The night was her accomplice.

Her eyes held me captive
And I couldn't react or move.
The voice of an angel
somehow had me at gun-point.
With each crystalline word
Jamming further, like a pistol
Into the back of my skull.

She grabbed me gently;
Stealing my wallet with a kiss
Her touch was murderous,
With a smile so dangerously
Charasmatic, that I felt akwardly
Lucky to have had the privelege
Of letting her rob me

My heart became a victim
Unprotected from witnessing
The pleasure of lustful crime.
As it was interrogated nightly
In the dimly lit corners of
My memory, again and again.
Unedited in my dreams.

Her intent was to ransom my
Feelings that she had tied.
Innocently handcuffing my
Handicap soul to her tender wrists;
Trapping us in a mutual
form of anxious confinement.

Now I'm locked in her cell
Of blissful misdemeanors
With a crook, like love

i love how in everything you write you use the best metaphors.

"a crook, like love"

thats awesome. and if you think about it, its so true. love comes from nowhere, and the person you're with completely steals every part of you. "capturing you" in perfection. a love so still, so peacefull, so right that it came like a theif in the night. and you carry through with the same metaphor, instead of switching back and forth between mulitiple ones... it makes your imagry much more vivid and able to grasp.

i like this one doll.
