Just Another Mad Girl's Love Song

sylviasearcher



The vision of you stirs me

Into my darkest insanity

I long to become drunk on your kiss

To sink my teeth into your smile

Inhale your easy eyes

 

I watch as you rise from darkness

Alone I cry

Longing to rise by your side

I clutch at the ashes beneath your boots

Rivers wash away hope

As you deny my existence

Sanity elopes

 

Taunted by nightmares where star-crossed lovers gaze

Into each others eternal haze

Wet kisses on rock tops

Soulful synchrony never stops

You tossed my wild soul to the floor

'No more!' you screamed 'No more!'

 

What once was truth is madness now

What once was hope in insanity drowns

As I watch you rise into the light

Can your clipped wings really take flight?

With half your soul in eternal darkness

'Take me with you' I plead 

I run to the edge

 

You're flying

I fall

 

Dead.

    Thanks buddy! Took me ages to choose a song today. I ended back where I started with the obvious.
    I'm not sure my poetry would do justice to the great Plath but her title of one of my favourite poems seemed better than any others that came to mind.
    Thanks for reading.

    Plath or Plath not this is sooo good - a super write.

    • sylviasearcher

      Thanks Michael. Your positive words are appreciated 🙂

      I can appreciate just how cathartic it must have felt having got these words out into the open and capturing them here.. there are some great lines and some very memorable ones too... I wont forget this page and I thank you for it...

      • sylviasearcher

        Yes there I catharsis in most of them.

        It was also a mini tribute to my name sake.

        It’s funny how many of the most intriguing writers are touched with madness.

        Would you tell me if you found a bad poem?

        • Neville

          I have absolutely no problem in telling it as I see it... obviously, it would only be my opinion tho.. so yes, I would let you know...

          I gotta upgrade my stenciling now...this is potent
