A very personal poem and my first for a long time.


Poem Artwork

A Hideous Spirit

A smiling face that hid loathsome strategies 
 still haunts the shadows, lurking with predatory instinct,
ravenous in relentless pursuit of impossible dreaming.
  A heart once embraced by lustful passion 
destroyed by a Vampire’s thoughtless scheming.


 


Hideous spirit, you took what was not yours to take.
  Your charm and transient grace would manifest fake. Fingers, dancing delicately over a heaving breast


 with voluptuous elegance you conned my heart
into feeling safe. Yet you tore it from my chest,
  splintering sensual pleasure for a lifetime of pain
because you thought it best.


Now a cadaverous shell I lay,  
 my heart at your feet  
on a canvas less painted in blood.



Pages of a life ripped from a spine-broke-book,
 fly like leaves cracking on a withering wind


blown in disarray across a dispassionate wasteland.
 Scattered to oblivion – a history lost to that look.
