Through Smoke You Read This

Through Smoke You Read This

A Poem by Poe Redd
"

That is, the smoke of all of us burning.

"

This blank page burns

Through smoke you're reading

As words appear

You see me clearly

As ash I am irrationally gathered

To pin you sinfully in a daze

of fire baths and shadows our lather

Unless you'd rather..

 

Kiss me twice before I decide

To watch you die, feeling high on my side

To never reply you welcome fate

And step into its jaws of hate

The silence you keep widens the ditch

You plan to jump but can't and fall

To burn until black as the heart of the b***h

Whose name you took to vengefully call

and down fall all!

With the perverse forthewith

In the grave installed

Her unjust tithe.

Powerful, you have an incredible power with words you know. But, this is hard, or harsh. Hate is a painful path... Beautiful write Poe:)

'The silence you keep widens the ditch
You plan to jump but can't and fall
To burn until black as the heart of the b***h"
I love the way you write. Direct and hard. The poem is amazing. I like the strong description and the powerful ending to the poem. Anger can take us to bad places. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

nice flow, the words in italics are so strong I can feel the movement.

the first stanza could be you poet talking to us readers...
"as words appear you see me clearly".
keep them coming! you are quite a sight! =)
