Venom

by M. Loreto

[box]Of the many facets of a woman, one is that of a possessive lover. Loreto M explores this aspect through a poem that also highlights the ‘woman’s instinct’.[/box]

Have you been with the man I love?red-heart-opt
If you have, I will know. And I will hunt you down.

I will squeeze your soul. For residues of him.
Empty your sockets. For remnants of his gaze.
Skin you. Inch by inch. In search of his lingering touch.

I will suck out your marrow
To lay a finger
On the shiver of pleasure he sent down your spine.

Tell me. Tell me now.
Have you been with the man I love?

Loreto is a Copywriter at an ad agency. She used to be an MBA student, and before that a Botanist at an orthodox Christian college. Thankfully, neither could break nor contain her odd streak. Her poems are confessions – of the alternate lives that she would have loved to live, and of emotions that cannot be expressed other than in verses. Most of them are written in a manic-depressed or unrealistically elated state.
