Claiming Ownership

Claiming Ownership

steely screams interrupt

the rhythm of two lovers;

strangers passing time

on the over night train

driven by the forces

of amorous attraction

seeking only a one night stand Ā 

but suddenly the man stays still

Ā alarmed by the nature

of the relentlessĀ shaking

Ā Pools of sweat

drownĀ his eyes

when a light enters

through the window

his skin turnsĀ cold

as she blushes in gold

Ā pleasure possessing

Ā her willing soul Ā  Ā 

Ā then the man hears a voice

speaking sure and slow

'even in death, I claim ownership'

Ā Ā she smilesĀ inĀ the after glow

hey sis. your explanation sounds good to me, lol....I think her loverĀ is a possessive ghost; incubust? Ā or socubust one or the other lol....was trying to say something about holding up a past loveĀ asĀ a standard impossible for any one 'new' to reach; holding on to ghosts, and yes she holdsĀ all the cards.....I think I got a little to 'cute' with this one though...., way too much plot for a poem, maybe....glad you enjoyed....peace and loveĀ Ā

Chris! Ā OKā€¦She is a succubus who is looking for a new loverā€¦.always searching wanting to keep what she longs to possess: Ā a lover who will not die during the vigorous act of amorous sex.Ā  Yet the claim will always causeĀ death, no other outcome is possibleā€¦it is a certaintyĀ she must acceptā€¦ yet determined she intuitively seeksĀ "the one" who will not perish within her heated embrace. Ā Yes,ā€¦sheĀ continues to ride the midnight trains.

I enjoyed this write!

you are a superb reviewer Lily Mae, I appreciate them; your personality and great sense of humour comes out....lol, hey this poem is very weird in the way it turned out, honestly I was trying to make a point about cherished love and it turned out sounding like a tale aboutĀ a delusional love sick succubus with in your words 'scary mojo' Ā ah well! Ā stuff happens in the big bad city, lol I kinda like it though; it's quarky....cheers my friend
