The First Fool

 

Guess I'm not the first fool to spin on my axel

Mad as a hatter over you

I can't help but magnify your glory

The hold you have on my heart feels like a vise

Yes, I let you trespass in my head

Take over my mind like an opium addiction

Blow out my brain with one sensual gesture

Terrorize me with your wicked caprice

I tell myself I need to remain elastic

By myself flooded with a cascade of desire

Staying home waiting for your call for months

I can taste the sweetness of you on my palate

How can I live without you any longer?

Hoping today you'll finally notice

Hating myself for loving you

Mad melodies marauding through my mind

Make me want to defy reality

How can I lift myself above this insanity?

All I want to do is fly to you

I need you now, don't make me wait forever

Bleeding my heart out trying to figure

Some way to sow the seeds of love in your soul

I wish I was worthy to dine at your table

How can I rise to your level when I'm so far below?

How can I put my name on the tip of your tongue?

How can I make your gorgeous voice sigh that you feel the same way as I?

This prompt challenges you to find a poem, and then write a new poem that has the shape of the original, and in which every line starts with the first letter of the corresponding line in the original poem.

Well...

I didn't use a poem, I used a song: Hopelessly Devoted To You by Olivia Newton-John. I used the first letter of every line, but beyond that, I took a whole lot of liberties.

Bitter Desire

 

free use image from Pinterest

what is at first delectable and tantalizing

so often turns out to be a bitter lie

wrapped in a creamy complexion

the desire that you feel when you look into eyes 

explosive with all the colors of the universe

turns sour like a stale cup of bad coffee

when you realize that what he feels is not poetic desire

but merely common lust

and you could be anyone or anything

so long as he can grab hold of something

and stick himself in

better to stay home and clean house

clean out your cupboards

your contacts

your mind

of all traces of him

soon enough you'll find

that he was only a cutout prince

waxing poetic about a paper moon

you'd get nauseated sailing his cardboard sea anyway

OctPoWriMo 2018: Day 12: Affliction

Copyright Kellepics

Why did you have to afflict yourself on me?

Why did you invade my dreams and haunt my days?

Excruciating need, I could not get free

Like a psychotic demon child who plays

Bringing torment to his victim's mind and soul

Agonizing want for one who never stays

Heart afflicted with the pain you live to dole

Is there no-one to appease, to bring me aid?

Where do I find comfort and regain control?

Someone heal, soothe, and relieve me, I have prayed

Free me from a man who just wants to get laid

Note:

This piece is created in the voice of Team Netherworld's OC, Pepper Baiij, for our WIP, Fetch. The poem "honors" one Kris Rooiakker, a living person who took advantage astrally of the sensitive and troubled medium for many years before she finally found the strength to break free.
