Poisoned Mind, the Backwards Poem

Doubt 
From her
Poisoned 
Everything
Death set in
Men of tears the
Blamelessly leave
Loss of souls praying
Kings of Feelings trapped 
The cleverly
Changing façade, 
Die to self, 
One forcing  
Love her 
Clasped 
Guise

This is so wonderfully written, each word feels precisely chosen for it's intense emotional impact. That it is also a "backward" poem, your skills are definitely elevated to my mind. Great writing, evocative, a real pleasure to read. blessings, lynn
