Swallow

By Deathkitten

Lunar eclipse
Shadow my scars
Dirt buried deep
Solid black bars
Finger me out
Scoop away rage
Passion perceptible
A shake of red leaf
A darkness I crave
Irrevocable words
Irreversible thoughts
Irreparable things
Mindless actions
Fears unknown
Scabs are pulled
Fault built home
Walking contradictions
Zombies of trust
Untimely manner
Full of lust
Crimson tides
Unmentionable souls
Sex appeal
Swallow whole

  • A former member wrote: Well now, this is also intriguing interesting. I love lines, "walking contradictions" and , "zombies of trust" the depth of the abstraction is hauntingly beautiful. Well done poet.

  • A former member wrote: This had the effect of a picture slide, each new image stirring up something different with every line.

  • A former member wrote: this flows quite nicely... I find it has a very open meaning as well making it easy to relate to... fine work.

    I love the style you have written this in. Minimal words that portray a lot . I fitted it to a situation that I was in with someone a while back and it sat perfectly for me! I love it when I find poems that do that! In that situation I jumped in feet first and was scarily absorbed totally by the wash of emotions. Poems are great when they connect because you get that reassurance that others understand.
