My Soul Shattered By The Bullet Of Betrayal

Shivering shards sliced through my sullen system. nightss nag with naissant nightmares mornings moved as malignant monsters trust twisted in tabescent thorns tearing within me I ignored prayers, mindfulness and Jesus above I believed in money and stood as a gluttony, greedy foolish glideroy entity the empire of emptiness exhausted me... my crimson crooked heart hovered in the chains of inner being crashing tides of bewildering blood sustained me somber singing penetrated my lonely ears for I heard the poignant prayers of promise seeped through my splitter sins of seduction for there remained regal relief of my convictions my hope heart gave my soul a sarcralized sword of triumph Who betrayed me? Me, myself and I For I stole the stars of my soul January 16th 2022

How truly striking, heartfelt and expressive this poem is, Chantelle!! It is so true that many times we betray ourselves by forgetting who we really are and to whom we are deeply indebted. ~ It is lovely to be reading your poetry again, my friend; I have not been around much due to health reasons. ~ Warm regards // paul

Wow, Chantelle. I found this and it is quite astonishing. It does remind me of Judas somewhat with phrases like "the empire of emptiness" made me wonder how he viewed the 'coming king' as we know now how the story unfolds and his temptation to betray was really misguided vision. Very interesting poem, I have to fav. and probably revisit. Well done Chantelle. Sam :))
