The Age of Poet Destroyer

A diamond in the Frost ... I am Emily, gazing through the years, 
Like Poe from rancid taste and dark smoke shadows
Florescent waste escaping a decrepit yet dulcet wilderness
Backward capabilities frontal verse, I am her the almighty universe 

Ascending from yesterday's fall, literally and visibly
Swore to be everything you loathe most - a felicity of illusions
You will dream of me, a parasite you can't get rid of
Ripped open by paper and pen, rising to a new destination
A Destroyer begging to be free in search of a tender rhapsody
Blind by mediocre poets who tend a false nebulous star
No longer, will I impart into defeat - give in to trophy trust
The time of age, my allies whom I call my friends 
You are more than words on any God-Given-Day

To those unworthy of me, can march away from my parade 
Crying wolves, backstabbing clones, long gone stones
Each file is forgiven & forgotten, however, still trespassing 
Under a microscope, some remain to be a decade of lost words 
Grazing a forest-grown for old news dripping water on my belly

No matter, after starvation, I found my way back to the same horizon
Finding time and space among a new docile nation
A buried treasure finding face among a fresh myriad generation
With anchors up, I'm headed full force, against every secret endorsed

I am the one you should not fear, I relish this wonderful community
I am she mounted above all years worn rising like a newborn sword 
Forged by the earth summon by the pirate's moon political creed
Ascending to a sweet ascension with the best kind of immunity
With paper and pen, I sit to please and prosper my poetry need
To you I leave --- Echoes of snow, numbing you with a poetic soul 

Love The Poet Destroyer

a beautiful lady with very harsh words, which I think I know is compassionate. Sorry I see you different. You do have a talent manipulating words on a canvas.

Dear Linda, You revealed your heart here. Every line is meaningful. Enjoyed. Without presence of Linda PS is looking like a tree having no leaves. Hope, you are fine with your near & dear. You might be busy in your personal life, but still please try to spare little bit time for us. A big hug from me..........with love//Manmath

To be comfortable in one's own skin, to know truly who you are and live that, is the greatest gift you can give to mankind. Don't let the giving stop. Namaste.

Keep writing this way. It would be an honour to last just to be destroyed by such.

Linda. Today I have an opportunity to finally view some of your work. I must say that I wish I could write as well as you. Of all of the ones I've read I like this one the most. Please don't ever stop writing. Edward aka Eddie.

Hi Linda, From start to finish we are on a roller coaster of emotions from your pen. We get on with joy and we go where you take us. Reading your poetry can be like being on a mystery train, we do not know the destination but we know we shall enjoy the Journey. Your images full of life. Your words find their way to sing. Your journey shall go on, and on, and on. Another excellent write from your pen Linda....Love. Vlad.

LOVE. Your poem is deliciously elegant and I love the last line especially. But the entire poem is an exercise in how to write with feeling.

Imagination so real, your the destination on this level, No mediocre mainstream poets can understand and see what these writings can reveal, This world pillages, rapes and steals, I'm not an enemy, I'm real, can feel, So have a allegorical meal that's so divine, See the sign's of the language of this world, Spirits are our mindsets, you cant prove they're not so stop your quest, I request for you to invest in these writings, they're the best give it up for her, The Poet Destroyer

Forgive me everyone, but I generally do not read long poems. However, with PD I am so fascinated with her rhapsodic style - kind of like a quickly changing dream sequence - that I must take the time to read. Not being a sort of modernistic writer, I love writers like you, dear PD. Love your images in imagination. Love, daver

What a great write, there is a lot to think about composed in your words, makes me think. I have no fear that you will be the destroyer when poets put words to paper.
