A Shot of Hiv

Heart blushes Full of threat As the blood swims on the inner Carries danger on its hosts Infections amidst Cells stopped dancing As the virus replicate Immunity shut down Nerves get crazier The brain sings a lonely tune As the body waved goodbye Never imagined that one pleasure Will bring an unwanted harm The system has surrendered Death applauded for its wait The physique is now gray Eyes closed as the viral paved way

I love this, Arden. It's nice to see someone I know on PoetrySoup!!! Well, I'm hoping for material like this to be featured by groups such as LoveYourself in order to not only raise a consciousness but put art in the spotlight as well. You very well know that where we are lacks that kind of focus. :)

I was inspired by the people I've encountered this year that are suffering from this case. Was able to see and comprehend what they're going through. Its a tough situation that needs to be understood. We have to be aware of it and a little advocacy of sharing it to others, making them informed through artistry, can make a big impact to the world! Great I've found you here! Love,love,love! :-)

Thanks, Dr. Mehta! Lets spread the news and help people suffering from hiv that there's something that tbey can still do by starting on small ways like a"POEM". More power! :-)

Thanks very much for personifying how HIV affects the body (its a subset of personifying science that I feel works nicely). Unfortunately the contest rules require the use of the personification form. Your work is still excellent poetry that I enjoyed reading. Thanks much for entering my contest. Oh, this doesn't fit the ABC form, either.

Thanks a lot, Ms. Harper! During the past few months, I was able to meet people with HIV and I think that this is the best time to make others aware on how this could affect lives. I'm new here and stil didn't know the categories on where to directly place my poems under. I'm so happy that my poem was able to catch your interest. This is a big achievement for me as a writer. More power.:-)
