Soothsayer

sight... 
a prophet's mark unsheathed
radiant, quell the shadow's scream
her lips were never meant for me
in auguries 
... blood uncharted

Oh my, this is such an evocative and deep poem with poignant hues of unrequited love.. I absolutely love the title as well! Your words are concise and precise yet so reflective as they pull gloomy heartstrings.. A soul stirring piece.. "her lips were never meant for me in auguries" Beautifully done!

perhaps the future held something far better than her lips. You've written fine lines to make a reader delve into the imagination. Well done, Clive.

A deep and heartfelt write this is. Soothsayer excellent title for the poem as it fits perfectly, and i felt this line “ her lips were never meant for me in auguries” i felt like it depicts pain of unrequited love in some ways, very well expressed and i had to look up auguries. Learned a new word now. Always good to learn new words. Pleasure reading this
