BEAUTIFUL

I don't want to be
beautiful
(right now)

I want to reach
into passion's throat
Aztec Determination
Sucking hearts'
Twisted Soul
Wringing wet
flames
over bitter

Champagne cocktails
served up hot
In Cristal Darque
(I don't want to be)

Beautiful

I want you
to feel the rim
Glass
rubbing raw
pink fingers
RED

Hi Michael...Thank you for the welcome.

I am traditionally, I suppose, a beat poet (so most of my stuff goes into Adult) just cause I tend to Irreverence. Darque is not my usual genre, but I spun this off as a reply, seemed to fit here (and I was pretty pleased with it) *S* SO I thank you twice...TA ~haze

LR...Your praise fondles me to fascination...Thank you.

Bojopy...thank you twice...as I told Michel, Darque is not my usual drink But I will try.
I have also been known to be pretty poignant with the old slice-n-dice. I will be sure to keep it wrapped...Thanks again Til Again...~haze

The dark can be a wonderful relief, to pour out angers or fears etc.  Welcome Haze, and I hope you decide to stay for a while, or visit regularly  

 Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

Liked the right now feelings and getting it down. Most of my stuff is a bit out there and that's just the way I like it.
Looking forward to more from you.

 There must be some kinda way out of here... say the joker to the thief

There's to much confusion, I can't get no relief

hi haze,
i enjoyed the way you took the word beautiful and used it to please yourself.  Actually I don't understand the poem but I like presentation.    James

jmlee-thank you.

The poem is not about visual perception.
Its alleghory.
What I am really saying is "I don't want to write words that please you-I want you to feel the depth & soul like glass shards in prissy feet-I want you to feel the edges/reality without romance.)

Do any of us ever (really) understand exactly what the poet was thinking? Unless its all tangible imagery, we can't. As far as I am concerned-If I made you feel (anything) Even anger-I have done well.

Thank you for the read. Til Again...~haze

Great point haze!!! The reader and the poet don't always have the same thoughts on a piece.  Just like in music many of the lyrics are for themselves. We just try and relate to it in our own way!!
