poem


the soul

which gives me the inclination

to develop new cliches

in place of the old










the eyes which render me

sightless

in the hope the soul might feel









flirting with the idea of disaster

and decimation

the most beautiful of atrocities

the ones that ebb and flow in and out of my veins









you give me this hope

that my demise and my salvation

lies within the tips of your fingers









surrender

a dirty word

and something i willingly concede to

just in the faint hope

that you would surrender too

"the soul/which gives me the inclination/to develop new cliches/in place of the old"- Great line! On the whole, a very good illustration of the willingness of the soul to throw itself into something potentially dangerous in a "faint hope" as you so accurately call it. Liked this.
