Evil in White

[IIVIsouljam 329]

This poem came about when I mindlessly fell for someone that turned out to be very toxic. Also, I'm new and have no idea if I'm going about posting this in the right way? 

 

Evil in White

 

Catching the twilight hour within your hair

Was enough to divest me bare

Nothing from my lips can fashion you in gold

Yet it seems a constant lambency to which I behold

Wild as the wind, restless and vexed

Walking on a garden green, where surely I am hexed

A flower in your current, that tumbles from her vine

For cordial rivers sweep within you, a blue serpentine

There are no stars that fall tonight

They are your gilded crown of might

I am descrying through pellucid jade

At an azure dancer whispering to the glade

With all this power set within your eyes

For me, the least surprise,

was the eternity of the skies

If there was wisdom beating in this heart

I would not be tempted to impart

The velvet in your lonely words

Cut divinity into thirds

Looming now a profound fear

An intoxicating verdict my dear

My weakness resting on each excuse

Where even the sun might you seduce

When the amber rays swell to a coral rush

Swaying on a majestic horizon with a blush

Just to kiss you softly with a breeze

I am now but on my knees

With your name clawing from my chest

Permitting me to a feverish protest

I am reduced to the fiend of you

Falling on the blade of your fallacious virtue

Have your roots slither deep and coil tight

Should have known that evil comes dressed in white

That's a relief!  Definitely will, thank you so much for your time. It means a lot!

I wish I could edit the title more towards a general topic for personal writing. At the time I was testing the forum out and didn't know you could make a topic dedicated to your own collection of work.  

Here's a short thing I made a few years ago:

 

 ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋

When you stood a foot away, I pictured your lips on mine and began crying.

 ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋

 Behind your crystalline amber my lungs filled, and so I was dying.

 ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋

 You left me there, longing for a pulse and clinging to a string.

✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋

 Your voice in my skull with a sweet maddening sting.

✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋

 A victim to your smile, each move that you would make.

✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋

This is murder, this is murder. A monster found a heart to take.

✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀ :: ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋

 

Edit: It should probably be noted that this was inspired by the Hannibal television series.

I love poetry and prose. Thank you for sharing

You have an amazing way with words - I like how were inspired to write this from Hannibal. I had to re-read it after seeing that edit. The connection is clear, but I like how you can read it to mean a few other things. At first I assumed you were talking about someone stealing something - not a life, maybe darker, not really love.

Thank you, for taking the time out to read it! 

I was afraid that it was going to be absolutely silly. Coming up with this purely motivated by a show. Specifically this scene-

If there's any attachment, it may linger from an event I've translated without meaning to. In that, I'd be astonished at your ability to detect. If only to make it more profound and less undeserving of depth. I'm grateful to the examination. Honestly, I didn't think anything I wrote was capable of the consideration. Thank you.

Thank you, @Anime loveer !  

Appreciate your time!  Please have a wonderful day and let me know if there's anything I need to work on. Sometimes, I'm not so sure that my poems achieve the right amount of clarity.
