. . . misanthropy murdered forever . . .
By NikesRain
she was the rain falling supple and snowflakes tapping on your
window
the elegance of a thousand ages slipped into a kiss of
gentle unconditionality
calling out to you to chase fireflies
across summer meadows
without expectations of ultimate success
or heralded victory
beseeching you to only take care with her
sighing calla lily heart
hidden quietly in the folds of hard to
get to dusted feather dreams
ever asking only for the silent sigh
of your most tender consideration
spoken silk and beauty created between brushing
souls you floated immortal
breaking free beyond the veil of
harsh days and demanding conformities
reveling in the silly
childishness of giggle shorts and delicate fuzzy wumps
played in
sunflower bingo parlors beneath smiling polychrome clouds
until
the day you let loose the floodgates of a monster not of her making
birthed from your cynicism that too much happiness was an impossibility
now you look for cookie crisp smiles in
the porridge eyes of fading ballerinas
finding only toucan stubs
and dandelion heads in stomp struck desolation
mindless stump
thumping from dad's big chest is now your cadance
like a sorry
ass rap haphazard and stuttering over a forgotten graveyard
shrouded
in mange damaged weasel pelts vomitting your toxic textures
to
be collected by diaper clippers with hands stained in walnut hulls
somewhere along the
journey you twisted up and corroded
overgrown poison ivy squat-thrusting
against the softness willow trees
a weenus hung from dehydrated
bones wrapped in snide crushing remarks
but there's no help
for it when all you want is your pain painted and drapped
bright
like an jagged scar ham-boning across another's softer face
just
so you can scoff and gee-whiz bro your fallacious concern
she was your
blue fairy of a thousand graces unconditional
something to cherish
into the possibility of ever after
yet you killed her with one
fell swoop from your insecurity
and you suffer at your own pessimistic
hand

You own it, and almost make me ashamed to be a man (but not quite). This was electro-magnetic and the air is still crackling with high voltage static, thanks NR.

All I can say is...wow! I went mad reading this. Brilliantly constructed lines. I've seen some great, unique poetry come from this contest, Nikes, but this is the one that wins in my book.
