Shrinkwrap

you want my heart?
here
i’ll give it to you
shrink-wrapped in merciless cellophane
iced down in a champagne bucket
like a bottle of asti on new year’s eve
be careful not to thaw it
with your love or affections
icy and impenetrable is how it was meant to be
don’t unwrap it with your fondling touch
the crunch-crackle-crackle of the cellophane
will detract you enough—at least
i hope it will
i don’t trust you
with my heart—the baggage
it carries is too much for me
i needn’t burden you with its weight
leave it in its packaging
admire it if you must—from afar
touch with your eyes—not your hands
time might let you get close
perhaps a sneak preview
i’ll reel you in on false bait
play you the best single off of my album
delight in your disappointment
at the fallacy of the lure
then go off to chill in my icy bath

A genuine masochist, heh?
LOL, or a teasing puddy tat.

Not really a masochist, just wrote it when I wasn't in the greatest mood.

Keep posting everyone!
I want some opinions on my work!

This one I really liked.  The descriptive words and phrases were all placed perfectly!  I have an icy bath I keep drawn down in the basement!

WBP,
   I just had to stop in and read this one because the title reminded me of one I've written, but not published here about Sirand
Wrap.  Definitely a different take on it than yours--yours showed alot of wim and vigor!  I enjoyed.
