Pieces of Pieces

[Laura]

a/n: there are three pieces here

My Octopus in You

almost icelike
tenticles
spinning
reducing me to nothing
tears are hard to come by
sunken ships
stranded
in my deep green eyes
it's oceanlike
but depth means nothing
to you.

1940s Love

illegal movement
catastrophic
a disaster wrapped in velvet
your pins
and my needles
just an accident
a war
unseen, unknown
and unwanted actions
just a tickle
a prick
my cheeks tingle pink
and love
it's uncalled for
when it comes to us
damaged
a distress call
a mistaken identity
your fingers
my spine
meet our toes
and feet
they're touching
we're loving
in this bunker
under a red moon
bleeding from the fights
and broken hearts
shot down from breathing

A Rape in Time

my palms were still tender
flawless breakable blood
pedestal virgin statue
a victim of this rapist run

a smile once now broken
red hand prints on my skin
my shoulders once warm now frozen
my breath harmed and thin

brutality at best
his eyes pierced mine
missing pieces and tangled sheets
the sun staring in now no longer shines

I'd have to say I liked "1940s Love" the best, but all of them were great. Short, yet poignant....great job.
