friend

By diavolessa

Friends are dreams,
purple crushed dreams
of beautiful love stories.
Friends are crystal,
sharp and tingly;
ready to kill your soul.

It is the love of a non-human
hallucinating, replicating.
The love of a beautiful soldier
lost in the arms of battle.

It’s a pure white kitten
drenched in blood,
deflowered by human arrogance,
protected by the holy gorgon,
stoned and cursed.
killed and kissed.

It is the love of a monster,
the ones that slice the night;
cure the whores
and
damn the virgins.

Their bloody red kisses
heal and protect
leaving permanent marks
on permanent scars.

    Again, I am awed by your work. Good language. "-the ones that slice the night, and cure the whores" and "holy gorgon" are ingenious. Great, great write.
