Good Morning

By Nihilitis

A reverse panorama it was—
to my dissatisfaction,
an abysmal aberration.(eek, it rhymes)
Like those romances,
ludicrously full of bliss
and thoughtless affection.
I had always been one to abhor clichés,
yet nothing less could’ve served me justice.
Such madness. All over a petty meme.

Her pale ivory skin,
her hair like tarnished gold—

On my lap she sat, my body
strewn in a slack over a wretched couch.
I looked upon her crooked lips
and yearned for their warmth…

She was mad, but I hadn’t any restraint myself.

A piercing intermittent beep
broke the solitude of our union—

I silenced the villain, but it was too late.

    sounds like a moment so unbelievably perfect....you begin pondering thoughts filled with doubt......and then the alarm goes, giving a feeling of being caught in between reality and a dream...that's my take:)elisa

    Thank you. I've been hoping for a while for somebody to get the elusive plot though. First one to do it gets a cookie. :)

    dammit. I love the feel of it, but I very much doubt I'm getting a cookie. At first I though 'she' was a cigarette, but the crooked lips part threw me off that one... Thought-provoking in a great way, even if my thoughts this morning aren't entirely up
