A Shadow On My Poetry

my soul, gossamer, diaphanous, wispy, transparent-
         my lines, cobwebs of chiffon
glimpses in poems of my deep sadness
I pen in innocence 
sublime, my ramblings
rapturous writing
       turning words into poems
from deep within-
   bleeding from my pen . . . 
and then comes the vile and evil
filled with bitterness
and it makes me so angry
you think your loathsomeness
can touch me      
        envious
          spiteful
I recoil from your soul's ugliness-
pathetic and despicable and sickening is your brokenness
loneliness your eternity . . . 
I slowly remove your blood soaked dagger
    from my heart and the blood is dripping red
the pieces of my hearts lay
    beneath my feet and I do not hesitate
I pick up every shattered fragment
of the puzzle that is me and I put each piece back 
in place, and my message to you, never, ever    
even be a shadow upon my poetry again
   for I have a determination
                  you cannot fathom . . .

Frederic Parker September 7, 2015 at 5:52 PM I don't know if your poem reflects a reality or not, never the less it reveals wisdom and strength that can only be learned, it reveals the iron stature of your soul, defiant..a powerful poem with a message..well written my poetic friend..
