I hesitate posting this because of the thoughts I know will cross some people's minds. However, I'd like to make a frequent note to all readers of my poetry that *absolutely none of my poems reflect my feelings or situations in my life*. Please do not take my poetry as diary posts. This merely just poety.
escaping what's reality to veil sinful dreams. nothing comes this way unless treading on they mean. favourable desires alight themselves within. nothing here bears charity, but only charity of the skin.
shadows cover every eye and every mouth covered with dust. all brains swept away with thoughts of their own desired lust. cornered in your own rebellion knowing this is wrong. fulfilled not yet, we keep going; no one dares not finish their song.
teasing and tormenting minds desires forbid themselves amongst the grounds of Mercy onto which no one delves. God sees this pleasantry, this delightful, delicious sin, but in the end we pray stop. at lust we only just begin.
murderer of the mind, killer of innocent souls. vengeance through our bodies, has created beautiful trolls. our bodies portray desire and yet our souls are plagued. we dig ourselves deeper into an invigorating grave.
the bed our hearts lay upon is not the one we desire to return, but instead the bed of death is what our hungry minds yearn. we know which is truly more giving and yet we replenish thirst with sand. no pleasing a high-class whore with only holding hands.
unveil the masked shame and cover only with guilt. confidence is perverted when on lies it is built. corner your own rendezvous with all that you proclaim. all these lies you cover with truth should be your begotten shame.
nurse the needs within as youth will then not rust. find the depths of your skin as you dive into lust. eat the candy with the poison that only pursues death. find the hand that is too pure to even feed off your breath.

Again a truly penetrating insight into Vice and Perdition , with aHint of Redemption for the Fallen !
this sounds ok to me Brit. I enjoyed it. Like you mentioned before, it's just expression, not your life. Jeff was a marine, he was taught to be particular and picky. Some people will rewrite your whole life if you let them. It is up to you whether you want to work this again or not. love and peace G
very disturbing. too uneven. sort of half-rhyme / half-prose. keep working at it - you'll get there. I would love to re-work this one - there is so much beauty and darkness of thought within this poem!

Excellent expression of guilt about the nature of life. Without "lust" none of us would be here. Is lust then, so bad?
I don't think so.

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
A people’s heart can be found in their poetic words. In history men and women have stood firmly upon their soapboxes and street corners, rallying the deepest beliefs of people to rise up and be heard. The poetrypages.com has offered that voice a new
