My Poetry
Deliverance By Torture

A thud resounds through the ground
The body makes sickening contact with wood
Piercing irons pin it into place
Once, twice, they leave more room for pain

The timber is heaved into place
Feet forced flat, the last strike drives home
Slowly the weight bears down
Physical and worldly

Searing fire races through every capillary
Straining to break the surface for some relief
This inflicts another anguish
Realizing there is no escape, but for the impermissible
He consigns himself to the depths

Life is becoming harder to draw in
The slow destruction allows for one last, miniscule relief
A spark of survival,
hope, ignites
Yet the respite is deceiving

Intermittent asphyxiation begins
A deeper, crushing agony is at work
Flooding the last walls of the fortress
"It is finished."
Worthy?

The desire to laugh is shocking
Where did this impulse come from?
It isn't wanted

The privilege wasn't earned
The others may take that pleasure
Not I.

The agony overflowed, spilling onto innocents
This is why I'm denied.
A harbinger of pain doesn't deserve joy.
Home
Forbiddance of Joy

Sacred blood, hunger consuming me
The naked ache, all of us
I stagger, I am always bleeding
Will or can I grow?

Clutching at the glistening flame
My existence is a vast bruise
The whispering angel forever haunts me
Promises my escape
I feverishly leap for it

Will anybody remember me
Will my memory linger for a magnificent moment
Or flicker like a dark moon in the night

A slender tendril appears
For a rare moment, a crack
I see and am tantalized by the joy

But it's sliced away
Once again denied to me
Who continues this forbiddance of joy
Why?
Ignorance For Life

Flitting about like a ghost
Portraying itself white and innocent
Revealing in increments the true being
A dark spirit after your soul

It offers up the innocence of a child
While its monster persona is plotting
Whispering in the darkness of manipulative schemes

Acceptance by treachery, this fills its lusting dreams
Clutching at those left behind with a ravenous grasp
More is shown by successive and desperate efforts

Truth dawns on the victims
They turn away in disgust
Waiting nor wanting any longer
To be continuously exploited by the pitiable wretch
Protectorate

One strike could destroy them all
Nullify the tormentors
The world pities them

They displayed the ultimate stupidity
By harming hers
Now they will RUN

Flee from the rage
But to where?
The vengeance is ruthless

Thsi is a notification to others
Harming her own,
Ensures inevitable demise in the face of
THE WRATH
Sticks and Stones

Cruel condescension, sadistic sarcasm
Whipping me with every sentence
Each time destroying more and more of my heart?.

Why give me life
If you're going to torture it?
Why give me opportunities
If you become  jealous when I take them?

Every cutting word you've handed me
Has been another stone to build the wall.
I will never feel your pride
But at least I can stop the pain.
