Spit Forth Guts

Oh the venom on these lips cold fury should you taste it there. Drink deep my gathering gloom quench your thirst for my lies and my truths and my muted thoughts. Stand still frozen dead in pools of wonder and dread for this poison that seeps into your pores will not soon leave the haunted spaces your frightened places there will be myriad traces where it killed the wonder it found in your dull and dreary mind. Choke on toxic thoughts vomit my musings and spit forth guts colored black with doubt and fear and torment stain the ground with your loosened purpose your pathetic beliefs that words are always intentions of the noble and righteous.

Sir, you do dark poetry so very well. I could feel the anger and seething rage as I read the great verses. Definitely a superb poem that puts it ALL out there. A fine fav for me too. God bless..

I was confused by "found in your dull and dreary mind." The reader's? Mine? The poem was thought-provoking, to say the least, and requires several readings! I would love to know your mood when you wrote this. Were you angry? Depressed? Lonely? Disgusted? In any case, few poems have provoked quite this reaction from me. Profound? Perhaps! Thanks for sharing.

You are way too kind. But it is one of my all-time favorites. Post rhyme era.

The last 4 lines of this piece do show how the scales are indeed , skewed. by more than just a thumb,often times its a heavy hand. A dark hand..... I enjoyed this poem. it gives me more to ponder as I stroll about. Nice thanks
