heart-spilled
love
splatters seeping
     into concrete mass

soaking, spreading
forming branches
of emotions
                leaked
sun-dried
it becomes tainted
     bait for flies
a feast, a bloodied
           smorgasbord

beware! little flies
for this love…
   it is stale,
unworthy of your
appetite

why do your
feelers touch here?


Oh    
forgive me

decay....
your forte


Angel of Darkness
July 2000




It's been
too many nights
of being with

to now be suddenly
without

~I really, really enjoy reading your work.  There's something so pleasing about the style and the way that it's dark yet it reads so softly to me.  Anyway,...thanks for sharing your words. *Peace.

Great decadent imagery! An impressive piece.

Good dark images....descriptive.  Good one.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Thank you all for reading this and your lovely replies, I do appreciate them so  

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died
and I though alive, feel dead inside.

wow.....i too missed this one,since i've been gone for a year. Very very good writing. The verse that slapped me in the face was
"soaking, spreading
forming branches
of emotions
                leaked"
that is SO descriptive!! esp. the branches,it's wonderful the way you bring in the smallest most ignored details. great work
