Click hereHiding in a mad forest of shadows
Darkness has conquered my life with deepest chill
Grappling with self-loathing brutality,
My spirit laments as the clock ticks on.
I would have dedicated my life to you
I knew I could be left heartbroken and upset
from lost hope; grim devastation is bait
to what others have defined
Ignore this heart made barren
I embrace what is flawed and right
death-tinged petals
Thorns of hatred in depths of pain

ishtatabout 15 years agoNothing much to add to the previous comment by Angeline except that I've just read through a dozen or more of your poems and you really are improving a lot. That isn't meant to be patronising at all and I hope it doesn't sound so.
Angelineabout 15 years agopulling these lines together into a cento. And it's a good poem until the reader gets to this line: "I embrace what is flawed and right," which is just perfectly placed and gives the whole piece depth and meaning. Wonderful work, gf! xo, S.
Anonymousabout 15 years agobut I like it very much! LOL You flatter me, SB. I hope you enjoyed making this poem as much as I enjoyed reading it.
