Smack me with your voltage lips
burn my days, decay my sleep.
Wrench me from the numbing calm,
leave me shattered, spent, disarmed.
I’m never hungry
in my honey glow,
pinned to my chair
watch me grow.
Slash me with your sense of grief,
make me cry in disbelief.
Cut me with integrity,
peel my eyes and damp my skin.
I’m never thirsty
in my honey glow,
thrown in the deep,
sync in slo-mo.
Bound within
or die without
your cathode nipple
to my mouth.
Push me,
jack me,
jam me,
feel me.
Pull me,
wreck me,
slam me,
heal me.

This I've read many times and I
don't get why I want to read it
again and again :) so I even registered
myself to be able to at least say
something so I might understand
my desire to read it. I've even printed
it on paper and read it several times.
One more thing I don't know English
well enough to get everything .. it's
very difficult .. in Swedish it's another
thing ... (it's hard with the inbetween
the lines .. )
so I like the "voltage lips" that must mean
someone with lips that are o.k .. and
perhaps someone who also just blows
things off her lips :) it is a she ?
Then it is someone who doesn't probably
like what she is saying but he he feels
alive and like as if there is at least some
meaning with his life, since she spends so
much time telling him to shape up or
worse stuff ... :) ... and I suppose I reveal
myself some since I would never hesitate
for a second to just tell what I think of
someone I care for very much ...
:) So this written attracts me very much
since I feel like it could be to me :).
or someone LIKE me ...
and the "he" here seems to like her a lot
too, since he gets that the she is incredibly
fond of him but wouldn't hesitate to
tell what she thinks of him anyway. And
he feels that she loves him because she
only wants him to see himself, :) and I
wrote something of some sort of alterego
of me about a "he" who feels more loved
by her when she yells at him than all the
ones who only talks of how fantastic he
is ... :) In my story he has never met anyone
who cares so much for him, and is always
there even after she has told him to go to
hell. :) is back afterwards to check how
hurt he is :) in case he needs some support
:)
oh so I was really reading about someone
like myself, and I would never yell for the
yelling only because I want the best for
the one I love.
To me when I read this it is like
of a very strong love and a willingness
to go deeper in love ?
and I like "Honey glow" very much
"numbing calm" sounds like hell
yes I like it a lot and the sensual
overtones I might misinterprete but
how I read I love it :)
Hi again Helena,
It's very cool you printed it off. As a poet there is nothing better than someone who finds themself in one of your poems.
Every one has personal feelings they bring to poems as a reader. They are just as much a part of the poem itself.
Remus.
