Corrosively Poems | Examples


Ruin

PAIN, the raw blistered truth of the wrongfully made choice laid bare and exposed.
JEALOUSY, the corrosively selfish vanity-fed flame that burns impatiently for an unearned reward that is solely deserved. 
GREED, the insatiable festering itch to consume all in exchange for self entirely.
SHAME, an echoing shadow stamped upon a piece of time corroded by the consent of wickedness. 
DOUBT, the panicked teter upon the tight rope suspended between distrust and questions unanswered
HATRED, the tiny acidic drips of a vicious flame turning to ash every speck of happiness, wisdom, and love within its reach. 
FEAR, the all-consuming black sand stretching its way up your thigh stealing stealthily from you, your worth, your life.
SPITE, the unripe immature fervor that breastfeeds only petty rage, to strip you of your honor. 
ANXIETY, the quaking thoughts that fall into the cracks of bone and turn to rubble your skeletal frame
SELF DESTRUCTION, the inevitable dwelling place of the invaded mind.

Black and White Portraits

A flicker of the lens, a shutter in a box
 and light becomes storyteller 
shadow becomes shaman.

enameled faces held
 fastened in a 5x8 frame
 fill the pages of albums, the
 carbon copied souls are kept like 
dried leaves pressed and flattened.

 they germinate through the years, 
 growing in wisdom, the inanimate vapors 
 yielding such a happy set of ghost.

while black ink corrosively set
 upon phosphorus turns in it's elements 
speaking in still life a thousand words.
