Glimmering creature <br />You lie <br />My killer Queen <br />Beauty is a simple passion <br />Yet to be seen <br /> <br />Let’s take a peek <br />In the quiet hallways <br />Deserted ghost towns <br />We visit like cemeteries <br />Quietly <br /> <br />Did they ever tell you <br />How you grew to be a Goddess <br />No one knows praise <br />Like the fool <br />About to drink Socrates’ hemlock <br />Like water <br />Pass you hand <br />I want wine <br /> <br />My shining mermaid <br />Finally finding your legs <br />Did anyone ever tell you <br />Your eyes shine <br />Like collapsing super novas <br />I think that makes them <br />Black holes <br /> <br />But they work their magic <br />Better than witches <br />And fairy God-mothers <br />Even if I do wonder <br />If one’s looking out for me <br />Where you’re concerned <br /> <br />Ah my Majesty <br />With your deadly stream <br />Of beautiful lines <br />I wish I was there to tie <br />Your lips <br />With mine <br /> <br />I look at the veins <br />Under sun baked skin <br />And wonder <br />How much of you <br />Runs through these tiny tubes <br />Like Cleopatra’s last moments <br />Drunk with poison <br />Bittersweet <br /> <br />There aren’t red hot iron dancing shoes <br />Or apples coated with dead cherry chemical concoctions <br />There is only me and you <br /> <br />Ever after<br /><br />Alejandro Torres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fairy-tale-24/
