O, my country, devoured by the shadows of beasts weaving through the roots of time
O, my country, devoured by the shadows of beasts weaving through the roots of time,
On your white roads, leading to villages where sadness finds a home under roofs of silence,
With the beggar's sack hanging from the weary shoulders of clouds, carrying rains of memories,
Today, God wanders through you again, like a silent pilgrim seeking faith

Devoured by a Cat or Dog
Would you rather be devoured by a dog or a cat?
I had asked this of a meadow lark, a rodent, bacon and a bat.
The bacon was silent, but the other three quickly chimed in about this.
I don’t like it, said the rodent, when I am run down by that cat, Old Miss.
I do not want

Devoured In Hell--
Explicit lavender
Conscientious twine
Copic statically connected and combined
Kabbalistic socialist
Purple oranges
Holographic systematical images launch
And just what does all of this mean
It could have been a radical nightmarish dream
For though it seems
My reality is impaired
Reasoning why I'm not going anywhere
I just stand here and just stare
Pinching gnawing, burning itching, and scratching
biting pain on my pangs

‘Devoured’
For I am the representation of the unknown.
I whence at the thought of human touch and flee at first glance.
I fly away in solitude and caw in the name of darkness.
For I am the madness in a poets line and the chaos that brings chills down your spine.
A lunatics binge is greener past the fringe

Your Heart No More, For the Dolls Have Devoured Your Soul
Sami LaRose

Your Heart No More, For The Dolls Have Devoured Your Soul
Your heart is like a fragment
broken into your soul.
There are no windows to escape, this big black dark hole
You slip down under
going further and further
All the happy parts of your
life fade to black, and there is no more sun around you.
You lay there

Devoured By the Beast
Behind every great man is a great woman
behind every great man is a great woman
i'm a minute woman who only wanted
to make her man superior
but, fell short of his respect and love
never good enough to be his great woman
the unimportant one and the noble one
is incompatible, nothing glorious
became of this two becoming as one
severed, never

Devoured
Bugs demolish my skin like the bark of a tree,
They burrow in, make their homes;
They’re using my own shell better than me.
I feel their will to live in each rough bite;
Not human, but hole-y nest of the termites.
I’ll allow them to use my body for their health,
Emotionally hollow, why not accept my true self?
Let my

Your an ice cream cone
Delicately drizzling my brain,
Sweetness, nutty , sugar-coated nothings;
Haha
You smile and never melt away
Your the sweetest words
Never spoken ...
I'll crunch you in one moment,

Devoured ( Diminished Hexaverse )
Our hearts forever,
Captured in our heart,
Lifted in spirit,
Ravaged by desire,
Set upon a stage,
Feel our passion,
Stay to our course,
Rapture our souls,
Steal tenderly,
Our first kiss,
Lingering,
Internal,
Fever,
Devour,
Lust,

Devoured
I don't know how to abandon
This maniacal world
Where electric words stalk my nights,
Devouring my mind.
Volcanic images appear
As uninvited guests,
Wrestling atrophied concepts
Into structured rhythm.
Metaphors tease unrelenting
As sounds tickle my heart,
Disowning my need for respite
From red saturation.
Yet I feast upon each moment
Of inspired reverie,

Devoured
She is yellow tonight, grinning
as she reflects the day. Her breath
Splashes against me, needles of silver
Inject my skin. Casting shadows and trapping thought,
in punctured sails.
Petals dissolve; gather as pulp at the base
Of my heart. Burgundy lines solid flesh.
Empty beats crackle and echo through
my hollow bones. Chalk that
