I've been experimenting with my style and came up with these two poems recently. My inspiration for these two poems was a song called "Radioactive" by Marina and the Diamonds, particularly the line "Love is all that I fear." I've been wondering what people on here would think so I'm puttin' 'em up for review. Critique and interpretation a happy Acqua makes!
Trinity
You always laughed during the day,
And in the night you would play,
Leave me for a video game,
Hookers and superficial fame
I always wore a wig around you
My identity split in two
The lovely trophy wife
Complying without strife
But, baby you're not the one
Until otherwise proven
There'll be no nuclear family
Just my radioactivity
My blood on fire
Into the desert I'll wander
The claimer of my soul
Will consume me whole
I'll let my true hair
Out without care
You can't force me
To be your Barbie
Stand back, neon vampire
What will transpire
Will eradicate
All desire
That rests in
My heart,
Dear
Day's heat has left us
Night's mystery soon to join us
In this agitation of ephemeral dusk
Nothing has rhyme or reason
Going by its own means
As the sun sets
This blazing wasteland
My new, barren
Testing sight
Five, four,
Three . . .
Boom.
Nuclear Warfare
Look out to your right!
Whirrin' sounds and a blazin' light
If you don't duck just right
You'll go on a fiery flight
Hon, I knew it would go down
Imminent is the meltdown
Now comes the sirens' blarin' sound
Against you my voice will pound
Since you allied yourself with her
I've gone off my rocker
I'm off the charts, radioactive
Insane, far beyond reactive
My mind's decayin' Xenon,
My anger redder than Neon,
Go on if you dare,
Watch my passion flare
My face a makeup explosion
Ready for aggressive seduction
If you don't accept my passion
Expect a fatal reaction
My hatred will radiate to her
Infect her with mental cancer
I'll show you who's really smarter,
Who's really prettier
I just wanted your heart,
All of you from the start,
But no, you teased me,
Denying my chemical fantasy
But do forfeit soon, darlin',
For I'm surely decayin',
Havin' trouble keepin'
This act goin'
"Loves me, loves me not,"
With the latter I'll rot,
Becomin' a mere spot
To spite your thought
