She Paints With Blood

In a most naked room
with stark white walls
she paints in blood
of the anger that seethes
inside the cavity of her.
Bare and hollow
screams of hate echo
bounce, shatter and fall
off walls she's painted
with the fuel of her being.
She paints with hands
as rough as stone
with blood wine
from the sores
from the open cries.
Some very abstract pieces
some intricate little words
woven, in messages
in this secret room
of her hate, of her cries
locked in rage, caged up cries.
She beads with sweat
in nights at work
her liquid life upon walls
of ears, until fatigue arrives
and sends her crashing
body weak and broken
to the floor.
The cold and moist
and hardened space
where she sleeps
with filthy hands
and stained face.
Where her breathing
skips a breath
and her chest
jumps to catch it,
she's slipping far,...
and she's letting it happen,
she's ill tonight.

Spitfire, I think paint is much healtier. I think we do paint with blood, we also write with blood, and some times we let ourselves bleed or let others bleed us. Life can be a blood sport at times. I am just rambling here shocked and in awe at your words. All I can say is WOW. THat is a loud and breathless WOW.

Wow, SF, this seems angrier than usual, and I sense frustration here. Or were you just writing about me..
Fantastic poem,

Rock, you do...and yes you do paint with blood...I love how you just bare your soul in your writings...I remain an ever watchful, ever reading fan...you are too cool.  The lack of moral judgement is so refreshing.

Fire, this poem is "bloody terrifying". I can say that cause I'm an Aussie. *smiles*

Zounds...very intense.  The narrator sure has witnessed a bizarre form of cathartic release.  Irregardless, this was a very magnetic poem: it pulled me right in.

SF,

Wow, what power here.  I know you have been through much my friend.  Glad to see you writing out the pain.  Great writing here.  We have to catch up soon.  Take care you.
