Collateral Lamb

Thus I sail the sacrificial scabrous seas and touch tormented tides Battle-scarred in the breeze and washed ashore where evil hides The Sun regrettably retreats where malice mortals digressively dare Walking barren saliferous streets where I live on a penniless prayer The citadels of submission crucially crumble where they saintly stand In their unholy cognition you are a slave to their carnivorous command Embedded in stone my tangential tears will endure beyond the grave Bludgeoned to the brutal bone by the unlawful carnal knowledge knave Lost in oblivion my blood runs calamitously cold by the river's edge Beware the Ophidian with sabotaging scales leaving you on the ledge Deceivers of the realm punitive penetrators connivers as they clutch They manipulate and overwhelm with their torturous tender touch. Let's stop the abuse...and spread the real love Aug.01.2017 Let's talk about it Sponsored by: Richard Lamoureux 1 original, poem on the theme of abuse, emotional, sexual or physical. Any form is acceptable.

Wow, what an awesome alliteration filled write! You sure do know how to write a deep poem, filled with alliteration to the utmost my friend! I really enjoyed reading this exceptional piece this morning! You have brought a sadness with your words here that display abuse in a different way than most other poems! I am saddened by the piece, but was amazed by its grandiose! Great Work!!
