Piece By Bloody Piece

Compromising regard to life
thou being my curse
turning my world asunder 
in your regard I was lesser 
a presence in whispers



You the filch-er stole self 
the cadence of speech
seem as missives
reaching a velvet caress
raising expectation
your delusion no mistruth
nectarous phrase
dripping love
suddenly discord pricks
a deceived psyche


Thou eyes serpentine 
gave thee away 
glinting ego 
treachery unveiled
A crescent moon
bandits signal light 
cloaking and revealing
razor sharp talons 
slicing my psyche
demon shadow 
concealing
your gleefulness
at arranging its pieces 
a grotesque disarray
your magnum opus
the crumbling effigy of my entity
plundered dreams shattered 
to nothingness


Still
holding portions of self
supplanting thee 
is no question
as time rules
so 
my being follows you
Piece by bloody piece …

Powerful and dark Jayne, but your freedom to write shows different you's. If we were all everybodies cup of tea - Wow how boring we would be. I credit all the poets, and i will never cut them down. If Shakespear wrote this - it would be appearing in theatres all over the world - excellent write - and maybe deneith could learn another word instead of Angst - well done>>The Highlander, James..

I gotta say, as articulate and well crafted this is, it's still repulsive. Who would want to read this angst?
