Sin

Folder: 
Shorties

 

 

Maybe I could wear 

you like a sin

Clasp on a necklace of

dreams 

a fleeting thought…

 

My lips drip 

and for what 

I only know chaos 

and my heart is

like a spider…

closing up 

 

beneath your flame.

In twelve short lines, you

In twelve short lines, you present two very powerful similes that make this brief poem very, very effective.  I read lines 6-12 a couple of times before writing this comment, because the image is both so original and so striking upon the reader.
