Bleeding sorrow

Bleeding Sorrow


The cold hard ground, beneath her feet
The wind, so sharp and cold
Tears that streak her tender skin
A story, now unfolds...

Lips of red, eyes so blue
Her sadness lingers on...
The void that once was filled with joy
Now lost from what she has become

Flowers, dead and rotting
On vines of bitter thorns
Blood that drips from the wounds
A heart beaten, broken, and torn...

Every step now taken
Along the path of destiny
Leads to all illusions
That her soul will soon be free

In the distance she can smell
The sorrow, as it bleeds...
Seeping softly from the flesh
The flesh she now does need

And as she cradles her in her arms
And wipes the pain away...
She whispers to her softly
Let me give you what you crave...

She gently takes her by the hand
Wraps her arm around her waist...
Guiding her, ever gently
To her final resting place

She takes her face within her hands
Kissing her tenderly...
And as the tears begin again
Her soul, she now sets free

Without hesitation.. .
She sinks her teeth in deep
And as she struggles from the pain
Her blood, she now does drink

She lays her lifeless body
Upon the cold, hard ground
And in the darkness, she begins to weep
From the life to which she's bound...

The flesh, now lays beside her
Blue eyes, turned to grey
Crimson tears streak her face
Satisfied by her prey...

Crikey..that was amazing! The metaphorical structure is soo awesome..again, as in your other works, I feel that intensity that transcends so much subjective thought...it just IS. It communicates, it gives, and it takes..sender and receiver..perfect. This is truly a favourite!

mmmmm. i loved it. maybe a bit too much. great job on the picture that was painted.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
