By nur hidayah

Red lines
blood soaked flatlines
humping discreetly
underneath the skirt of words
teasing out truth tendrils
dribbling down the thighs of M's and N's
and the widespread legs of
the slut, A.

The ground drenched and squirming
with skin clothed skeletons
with budding pink flowers
with hard tips, hard tips
trembling tips
hungering
for a light
tap.

A drop by
the cafe of dark poetry
where Animals smile seductively
screeching their dirges shamelessly
quills erect, stroking endlessly
robbing thoughtlessly
lovingly
the virginity
of my slip
of hungry,
white
papyrus

Author's Note:

It's been a while since I last wrote any poetry. The words come very reluctantly but then again teasing them out is the fun part. I don't know why I haven't been back sooner. DP is as close to home as I'll ever get. <3

    Nur (Beauty), this is enchanting... 'the slut, A', & also "The Scarlett Letter", the leader of the alphabet, yet so maligned...

    I read your poetry everyday. I've jotted some down to accompany me in the train. You're an inspiration. Thank you.
