Broken Hearted Man

Bleeds Pleads Begs Love leaks down his sleeve Bone and bristle Heart reaped Soul raped A broken man with homeless face Waiting Meekly at hells fiery gates Dreams in a bottle Messages from above Broken glass cuts deep Into rivers red of bloody consumption The earth takes what the pregnant give Spitting away The butterflies That hover and hope For better days

What powerful imagery here in this very emotive poem, Arthur. I really felt for this poor man! Beautifully expressed, a 7 from me.
