Ophelia

Ophelia
Needle pricking the linen to stitch
Embroidery, like a lady is bidden�
Floating on quiet softness in distance
Obsessive introspection led me to a state
What lies upon the trunk, kissing
Fibers of this moss-fingers clinging
Sexless, moistened, hazy martyrdom
Grime, vacant, and upturned arms-
Walking, the feet of devoted friars
How your cock wants to convert,
Pacing the stone enclaves, prayer in
Your energies and your freshness-
Noxious crow-flower chisel stem blood,
Lisping eyes see where that path leads.
For I know my own imminent fate
(I am an icon - a paradigm - of virginity)

Will I have separated sanctification from lust?
Is my serene arousal dangerous to you?
Can you smell the rosemary�s arid twang?
My hallucinating eyes, will they see my pallor?

- Consumptive skin, tubercular, lilted-
Hovering spaces, resting between atoms�
Emaciated stretched between upstart daisies,
Raw cowslips, clinging nettle, long purples -
Damp ground, yielding- songs of nature, decay
The bank of this stream, my fingers dropping,
Foaming banks beribboned with garlands:
Bruised violets, those columbine, rue
Idle, vacant, waif-like blossoms to anguish upon,
Spiraling like my other, quiver shadow release.

The flowers she drops in the water float away

"Ophelia" by John Everett Millais

    Quoting rm_Quixy101:
    I hope that this poem doesn't portend to describe you yourself. Ophelia was such a tragic character, abused by not being abused. She always struck me as a woman trapped inside of a riddle and lost because of it. I hope you have no Hamlet's in your life...to be so would to be so tragical....
By the time she is 30, every modern woman who is out there, dating and interacting with men/women, has at least one "Hamlet" in her life. Mine included. But not everyone reacts by themselves becoming adversarial and depressed. My tendency when dealing with conflict or other emotional concerns is to escape (not to kill myself) but to 'leave' myself and the world behind in a book. So I can relate fairly well to a certain sort of Ophelia mentality. I believe I eluded to that in my reply to Aura of Sex. Lots and lots of reading in my life, especially as a teenager. So perhaps I was and am the perfect student- but on some level it was as an escape from the real world that I was so utterly scholastic.

I hope I'm not coming off as too obtuse here. I just don't always want to get into why I am how I am. I go through phases. Today... right now... I'm in the mood to be a little more secretive. Give me a few hours I might flip back into 'tell all' mode.

You're missing the point.

I'll like to hit that. As in, ok great that you feel great. BUT, I would like to feel mutually great but also sweaty and exhausted and slippery with come.

But hell, if I come off as a Hallmark card - I guess there are worse things to resemble.

IF you were not married I would be much more blatantly hitting on you, Curious. Savagely, aggressively flirting, even.
