fuck-me-red film noir dreams.

By verablue



Late at night I disassemble into pronouns
And stained glass trinkets
Of I and I and me and…

We
Never quite came on screen in this
Fuck-me-red film noir dream

Better judgment drips
Like icicles off the
Tips of our tongues
Barely skimming the surface in history
Of I and I and we…

[Lonely little fantasies]

Last words grey you down to
Technicolor
And you beg me to
Spread your skin across Hollywood blvd.
Etch you into fame

Angelic introspections
Over correcting and one dimensioned
I and I and me
Only me

[Only you]

Clear blue cascades
A vision in nostalgia
Like water for whisky

Only me

Still late at night I disassemble into pronouns
Shattered bits of brightly coloured glass
[Your image wasn’t meant to last]

Just I and I and me and…
We never got engraved into film


[No one will remember you]

    I loved the rhythm of this, like the sound of hardcore fucking. Another fabulous effort from the tip of your pen, with you upon it standing as poised as ever -Carl

    loved the rhyme scheme in this, the structure, the dirty gritty feel to your words. This poemly so closely mirrored some of my own, yet far exceeded them with such elequent force.

    It think some of the analogies are before my time, but I repeat and flow to this piece, thus bravo all the same. ~T

    this was frantic. like flashbacks in red of ulta sex and passionate violence. loved the rhythm of this. like industrial set to old foreign films.
