PP + MJ 4 Ever
You descend until we’re
upside down and right side up, noses to chins
brush your lips against mine
silky as the web of a spider
Tangled, spiraled, orb
tunneled, tubular
oh what a web
our love weaves
Cast your net
before I run
lest I be entangled
and made dependent upon
the safety of your sticky castings
Saving everyone means
you might lose me
the girl next door
green eyes and red hair
But saving no one
means you losing yourself
even a superhero’s heart
isn’t insusceptible to love
If comics had heart like that, I might actually read them.
This was kind of a writing challenge I gave myself. Someone really important to me love comics, and I read a few as a kid but didn’t really get into them, so I decided to see if I could do a little research on this particular couple and write a poem which captured their relationship. I’m still waiting to hear whether I got it right or not. lol
Glad you like it!
Wow! If David Lo Pan finds out, MJ might just go missing.
Anyway, it sounds sticky. Like after a really hot session of horizontal bop…
Any time you get tangled in a spider’s web, the situation gets sticky. Lol
