P ower held with in my grip, Run bastard, run. I nnocence once taken can never be un-ripped. C olorful the names they'll call me now, hateful; k eep your pity, you've not poisoned my soul. Y earling limbs spread for you and you rode. O nly anger lofted life above the bloody fray, u ntil today you'd thought nothing of my pain; r ancid was your heart, but there are many deaths. P igeon holed in the alley of your miserable hovel o n a night as hot as hell, what will it be dear,I ask. I display a fine array of knifes and a scatter gun, s oftly I whisper Run bastard, runand laugh. O nly, it appeared, he could not make a manly choice? N o, poison, it’s too meek, too neat for my voice. Published in Sweet Dreams And Night Terrors 2013

A very powerful write. Quite impressive! You have a huge range in your writes. I think I would find it difficult to identify you as the writer on many of your poems.

Hatred and rage are at top in this acrostic very well composed. I am on your side, anyway.
