A Grave Mistake
Sadist.
Velvet-voiced tease.
Horny devil, riding night’s wings.
Insist I look our demons in the eye–
do battle to do You
in fantasies.
Resuscitate dead-wood words.
Make metaphors breathe.
CPR for the heart
we drove a stake through.
Resurrect the love story
You’ll have the pleasure of
making me regret
ninety thousand words from now.
~Nara Malone

Very strong poetic voice. I'm a huge fan of free verse as it allows the poet moment with words. Enjoyed this

Totally enjoyed this 55! One day I might dabble in poetry again. I got it beat out of me back in high school and just haven't discovered the gumption to try again. Keep it rollin'
