Twixt Blaze and Claw

Abuses hurled and Alcohol gurgled, In the vortex of confusion And blurred vision. Intoxicated pleasure from surreal leisure. Fooled senses and numbed conscience. Wiped existence of love and kindness cuffed. Lashed at the one he once loved. Cringed and clung to her faint faith. She and her cursed fate. Exploding paroxysm of hate. Her whipped ivory skin and bleeding lips, Eyes with teary tinge, Has the harvest moon singed. Stillness of the night, pierced By memories of bitterness-sodden years. "Hurt me not", she trembled with fear, "let me live for my girl, dear". The cries colored skies crimson. Just one reason--Her little girl. As her daughter stared With flaming locks and eyes that flared. By Angom Amy (15)
