Liam Mcdaid Poet Free verse

Heart

as the night 
falls down dead
in colourless thoughts
polluting inner eye
drifting about lifeless

waters in storm swell
creeping out of shadows
strangling emotions
choking the life
in the host

deep frozen chilled
cutting to the bone
in odourless pain pleas
battle in the clouds
without mercy

gasping crushing blow
the taste of cold steel
sweetly cut deep
in swollen red eyes
i bled on you

drained tired look
tearing emotions
sick to the stomach
knotted up tight
barking mad

the heart in pain cries
silent lips move
quivering ache
on barren land
parched the feeling

walking through the eye
a zombie
in the graveyard of death
heartless soul lost
lifeless the eyes

a mirror light within
deep burning fire
warms the heartbeat
each beat
fractured and broken

in the dark
alone
to die 
is love
buried

Kelly Deschler September 16, 2013 at 6:29 PM I know the feeling of my heart dying after the loss of love. Wandering around with no purpose, almost lifeless like a zombie. And, never wanting to look for love, again. I really loved this poem about the darker side of love! Excellent writing, Liam!
