of mutilated souls
chaos born from our primal instincts
a ravaged mess
of broken spirits
eternally falling
into the darkness...

people can't talk but shiver...
they wait for the calm....

War ravages everyone;
Carnage for vultures.
There are survivors, untouched;
Emotions are ravaged, through.

Tied, bound, ravaged, sold as a slave.

Ravaged  the seas in a balloon

He scuttled a ship
But let the cord slip

And had to relieve himself on the moon...

in huff of gray clouds

a ravaged kite disappears

losing speed mid-air


a string tumbles down from sky…

my lover never returns

The realm
of the mind,
where dream
           abounds
private,tender
ravaged by rhetoric
where confusion
             struggles
with truth:
melancholia breathes
secret intrigues..
the anodyne..

And caught me off my guard.

And left a calling card.

My heart was broken into
And ravaged by a thief....

Teetering… 

on that prolific edge of mediocrity 

Groping… 

like some street-ravaged whore in the darkness 

Clinging…

Drowning… 

as you lie, complacent, in your nothingness...

coming from the town, ravaged 
impatiently, to the ground.

O, now I have- peace 
that never valued before, 
beaming inside my coffin.

Now?

Your bravery takes my breath away, 
Time to lay down your weapons and rest,

Perhaps it's time to let your ravaged, exhausted
body float into the clouds 
to be greeted by those who love you

Only you can know, decide,...

Notre Dame
  now maimed
terror's imprint
  hate proclaimed

Notre Dame
  ravaged, lame
intolerance aflame
  for shame, for shame

Notre Dame
  great holy name
fearful to blame
  ~ to the world inflame


Not for the ND contest...
