The Past - Abbey Haigh

the past  (( collaboration ))


by~ Abbey Haigh

'The past gives me goosebumps, 
to think about in detail, 
not to hover over the pits like a feather, 
but to burrow deep down into the cracks and the creases,
 to unpeel the half healed wounds and to pour salt on the cuts that are red and angry'


by~ Poet Destroyer

The past imposes on my future, 
of what is and could of been.
Strike them like a match,
and trap every old memory in the burning abyss.
Abuse every thought that triggers out the barrel of a gun in to my mind'


A collaboration with * Abbey Haigh

Hey, did you rate this one high? You are such a clown saying all that stuff at my poems. People are gonna think I am pumping you for contest info or something. hahaha. I saw what you posted at C.'s blog and it seemed kind of hostile and yet you ended it on a friendly note, I hope things are ok. ARe you disenchanted with something here at Soup,sweetie? Take care. luv, Andrea ps. and I'm glad you liked my orange haiku!
