Short Bloodstained Poems

My bloodstained tears flow easily down
To where my countires soil has forsaken me...

Conception of a bloodstained cross
Can be perceived a threshold loss,
As piteous as piety
When rage of age destroys its gloss
And ends a dismal dynasty....

Dark pit, deep and lonely
Rainbow coat, ripped, now only
A shred of bloodstained
Rags in an old man’s hand
Mourning for his favourite son
Alive in another far land....

Red clouds, bloodstained, a warning! Innocent
souls forever lost in vain, abhorrent!
Never learned, natures life's arbitrator.
Red clouds for Jack, nature, his life counsellor!...

Harsh winds, salt spray
familiar weight of bloodstained sabre 
hanging in a pilfered scabbard
one voice among the mayhem heeded
FULL SAIL - CAPTURE THE WIND
LEST WE BE O'ER TAKEN
BEWARE THE SHOALS!

Evil kiss 
Unforgiveness unrests in peaces
Tearish things soulless soul 
We shall depart torn 
Bloodstained the shadow fades embrace
Hiking peak lower front teeth
Subliminal hiss
Brutal human face
Brisk
Evil kiss

its silence then a slice of warm gaze comes over the ridge of our view the nights shades slowly change and become bloodstained and peachy the warmth grows and quickly engulfs the sky it streaking in every direction spreading its warmth with everyone a new day has come once more...

Never-ending bloodstained boots tossed on top
of the growing mound of vignettes
around so many young men
seeking a name to boast
courageous conquests
facing the best
gunfighters
just to
die

NB: A nod to Robert Hinshaw and his poem ‘A Stroll Through Boot Hill Cemetery’....

I came upon a 
blood smeared road
Of flesh and skin 
and crushed bone
I collected the vision 
of what it could be 
Piecing together 
deaths mystery
The town appeared 
shovel in hand
Scraped the remains 
threw down sand 
I said a simple prayer
For the bloodstained smear

ISIS-K blew up a girls' school*
al-Qaida claim flogging is cool
No girl is worth
A clump of earth
Wherever the Taliban rule

Jihadists strive to be lanky
To decapitate a Yankee
If Allah were judge
Would He prefer fudge
To another bloodstained hanky? 


*whilst school was in session!...

Her bloodstained wedding dress clings to her shaking body
On the floor his corpse lies in a pool of congealing blood
He’d revealed his secret, he was in love with the best man
It was meant to be the happiest day of their lives…

Conception kept secret from all was her will
Piteous youth just unlucky naught imbecile
On the dismal threshold of despair and heartaches
Bloodstained rugrat born into poverty and shame till
Suckling infant in her arms maternal love suddenly awakes

BLESSEDNESS
Your blessedness and bouquet gift of bougainvilleas 
leaves me breathless
the beautiful and beloved butterfly bereaved 
and brokenhearted sees humanity lying lifeless 
on the bloodstained dying fields of greed
the perpetrator’s brouhaha will die with their arrogance
without blessedness...

I went out to trick or treat
wearing fake bloodstained hands and feet
Soon I began to get prickly heat
So I jettisoned them in the street
The finder went as white as a sheet
Then dropped dead with no heartbeat
Now I’m feeling like dead meat
How could I be so indiscreet!

Social justice sat 
Poised before 
The tribunal of the wise.
No not,
One voice of the socially 
responsible echoed.
The avenue of cultural reforms?
Silent!
The cup of tears 
Drowning the dreams of the weary.
Mothers exiled to hopelessness. 
Dread resonates speechless fury.
Broken and a desperately riddled 
heart of distrust.

Memoirs of a bloodstained culture...

Bloodstained carpets
Bloodstained bed
Everything is oh so red
Dying dying dying dead
Everything is oh so red

Tears of blood
and tears of gold
everything is growing cold

Love on wings
of silver silk
trampled on the floor
whom is that knocking
death is at the door

Bloodstained carpets
Bloodstained bed
Everything is oh so red
Dying dying dying dead
Everything is oh...so...dead...

She seeks no salvation for those who have scorned her,
Crimsion are the color of  the eyes that hold her fate.
Unforgiven are thoes who see no future, 
Soulless are they.
Hungry the devil laps her bloodstained flesh, 
Devouring every drop of  her essence.
Angrily she begs him to stop,
And yet they lie together upon searing sheets.
Too weak she is to stop them,
From stealing one last dying breath....

I plummet to the earth,
Like a meteor.
With head still pointed,
Towards the heavens that shine in the sky.
Body and soul raved by the fall.
And
Yet I still rise out of the rubble,
Like a phoenix with bloodstained wings.
I look towards the heavens in the sky once more,
Then I fly higher and higher with,
More determination than ever.
For if heavens won’t come to me,
Then I will simply soar towards them....

With time it grew taller and stronger
  the harder I tried, the harder it was.
21 years and counting, knowledgeable in my days
  I just can't do it, plummet to eternity
chasing a noose the plummet has ended.
  So what is it really I've done so wrong?
Bloodstained pain pierced my naked body.
  Swearing me to pitiful tears, I knew what had come
and beginning with my last step
I thank God for saving my life....

Awe-and-shock parachute soldiers,
storm trooper boots hitting the ground
Death drones in search-and-destroy
hive imperative mode
Mission imprinted 
in their instinct driven 
war souls
Bloodstained boots 
treading 
on sacred ground,
which the holy prophets walked on
Dirty footprints in the sands of time
God, who sees all, 
will make the final judgment call
Remove thy shoes,
before it is too late
to choose...

mortally wounded, a soldier writhes,
      crawls bloody on the bloodied earth

      behind a boulder, a sniper takes aim again
            to finish off a task so bereft of mirth

                  as worker ants lug hefty loads around lumps
                        of earth and  boulder splinters

                        to rebuild an anthill crushed by bloodstained
                              boots of the slain and the slayers....

Soft like a pillow of cotton,
tactile like a rose against skin,
cherished like the most rarest silk;
many things create an image of
comfort.
Bright like stars in the midnight
sky,
hidden like the most precious
of jewels,
secret like the unspoken whispers
of humanity;
images of peace are untouched by
bloodstained ways.
Inert like stone,
strong like steel,
diamond hearts are forever created
but lost like melting snow in the
summer sun....

I have bookshelves of heartache
that I haven't written yet,
bloodstained pages of regret
that I haven't found words for,
a pen that always runs out of ink
in the most inopportune of moments.
Leaving me breathless in a storm of quiet,
thunderous discontent.
Everyone has a story;
I'm still stitching this one together,
one stanza at a time.
I only hope, after all of this..
It will be worth the read.

On a chain around my neck, the cross I seldom wear.
Not made of wood or bloodstained from Jesus bloody hair.
It doesn't show the holes from nails that pierced His hands,
nor the scrapes from being dragged on that dusty land.
I cannot hear the sound of Jesus when He cried for me and you,
"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do..." 
I took the shiny cross off, it doesn't suit my taste.
Put on the whole armour of God, Eph:6:11-18, in it's place....
