Tainted Poems - Poems about Tainted

By: Khomotso Makitla Dear loved one, It’s me your UNREQUITED LOVER. In hope I hoped that this day never unveil. As your WHISPERS still roam free in brain, whispers and hisses of broken promises. I nearly fumbled to open my heart once more, But I once trembled on your mountain of lies. Stone by stone I was there but...

Sour ground ... burial lots, where the worms defile Tear moistened dirt hardened by fretting hearts, fearful of the pulse pendulum clock Time moves mournfully on a crooked drop, six-feet motion of tainted tick-tock The skeleton key can’t open casket thoughts bound by an unrepentant lock Half-life decay of terminal haste has an unsweetened paper taste — Rectangular sawdust placed in toxic space, as gravedigger eyes...
