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. -Allan We used to hate people, now we just make fun of them. It's more effective that way. --KMFDM |

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. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

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. -Jeremy "I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. -William Faulkner (Noble Prize Speech.) |
