silence binds us in this faithful dance
children watching butterflies
our eyes smile -
through closed lips
your pulse flutters in your neck
while your muscles tense, pulling me to you
your heart latches to mine
just as the others it's tried
with so many ill attempts
your breath on my neck numbs my pain
as the thread pulls our pulp together
and i fasten it with kisses of
a butterfly's persuasion
gentle -
being careful not to aggravate the bruises
with the mirrors of your eyes
you hear chasteness humming in my
soul's refrain as each i-love-you
rips across my eyelashes and into sewn strings
plucking out our sweetly bitter symphony
- and that's when you sing
with each tear joining my delicate strums
sparking together, our hearts jolt
full of life
The choice of words and line lengths is original, to start. I enjoyed these. I always find pleasure with writers/poets with similar inclinations to mine. The total arrangement was very charming and a worthy read. Regarding length, I noticed that your stanza formation reflected your attention(?) and desire, which is always the inclination of a poet. You mentioned "silence" in the first line, so I wondered that it may determine the length and subject of this piece. The first fur lines were very charming as a beginning. The description of hearts and pulses was exciting. As to the remainder, it was nothing short of exciting. Well-done!
