Wonder Woman
I swear I hear the whispering mermaid
Reciting poetry
in my shady gallery
O, how I missed the scent of her
Rose water perfume
Wonder woman
has come back for me
the sound of her voice
falling in the autumn leaves
metastasize
her beautiful disease;
'Voodoo in the bloodstream'
Stirring unquenchable
lasciviousness
holding my virgin soul
captive
Wonder Woman
Stealth heat seeking missile smile
pale baby blue revolvers shine
feeding
my feverish need
eating the fruit of my nobility,
Right down to the seed
Till I became a blind voyeur
in the second circle
of Dante’s Inferno
my trembling fingers
Move along the smoking wall;
to my Starbuck’s cappuccino

Lauren thank you so very much for taking the time to comment, enjoyed hearing from you, cheers poet
hey' sis, yes, 'poets' and i suppose I am a 'poet' being read, and 'needing' inspiration, we are 'trying' to be original in phrasing; I suppose that is the genesis of poetry; 'original phrasing', and it's not always easy, but when we are long gone we will know how 'successful' we were, lol, anyway, my friend i write in the moment, what's in front of me; it's all i know, and I'll take my chances that way, so glad you liked this, you are a true poet; one of few on here, but the best of the lot, so I love and respect your opinion; coming from the best of the best I am grateful for the good words of the 'goddess of poetry', thank you so much sis, cheers; unless you give your opinion, I am a non swimmer in deep waters, cheers sis, thanks again
Hi Christopher, I almost missed this one and Im so glad I didnt :)...Its captivation from the first line had me drawn in. That Starbucks cappuccino was obviously well needed
Well done, brilliant peice
Lorna xx
hey, Lorna, thank you for your generous comment, I had lots of fun writing this; rare for me, lol...poetry can be hard work, I'm a very tough critic of my work...yes this one is full of imagery, the 'Starbucks' symbol is a mermaid and the man seems to need a fix....I write from 'visions' so I'm not really sure where he is; maybe a hospital or hotel where there is a Starbucks, this is probably the most abstract I can write right now; I kinda like it....hey, thanks again, poet
Hi there. Your poem grabbed my attention. Your poem has a great flow and clever word play. Look forward to your next. Take care.
Carinne, thank you so very much for taking the time to encourage this wanna be poet, lovely words my friend, well appreciated....and I really will try to write another one sometime soon, cheers
Damn it Christopher! I could favor every last one of your pieces and still not get enough of your talent lol wow this is outstanding.
thank you, PoetessDarkly, I feel the same about your work
