carve me out a wooden heart
a soul as hollow as your own life
and with the dancing flame
of kerosene and smoldering wood
birthed into this dark and silent sphere
douse my lips with oil and light
this earth afire with your ancient
slowly-dying match and spread
a little extra fuel my way
to consume my hardened heart
until it splinters and causes
the hands of the world to bleed

I absolutely love it.  Such a dark theme, great metaphors and personifications.  You truly did an excellent job.
Welcome to Passions.  I'm going to enjoy reading your work.

Welcome to Passions!
Nicely done here. The title drew me in and the poem itself just captivated me completely. Wonderful job on this one! I do hope to see more from you.

dear friend...

I am lucky to find your poetry again  

"consume my hardened heart
until it splinters and causes
the hands of the world to bleed"

i love this part... it touches me... and makes a profound statement which is left as a mark in my mind and heart.

Dark is good. Keep writing this dark, mysterious poetry. It really satifies my mind. I agree with Allan in that you use very good literary devices. Keep it up and welcome to your new home, rent is due by the end of the week.
