Soul Screaming

Standing on the edge,

his eyes are filled with
the torrential epiphany

of false

Inclinations

Hollow,

they speak out

Lips in frigid incapacitation
Skin like stretched leather

the binding, too tight,

Scraping against fragile bones,
pulsing veins 

His chest quickens,

like a startled serpent as he inhales

with a spine cringing

[whoosh]

You see

raw fear,

The rabbit in the jaws of a vicious coyote

Something is chewing on his heart
as he he coughs up

The bile of his own decaying
flesh

He rasps and shutters,

Inclining his neck for the
long drawl

of soul emptying oblivion

 As a mangy, tattered and hungry wolf
He howls 

intense '

anguish, the sorrow flows
out

with accumulating horror

He bares

his being

on the dust of empty trails
Tomorrows

racing past

as the smoke rolls
He feels the flames upon

his neck
Satan's [beckoning] call

He wails,

Like a thousand hearts ache and pulse

in a perfect resonance

The trees break and crumble

as those hollow eyes
open

wider and wider

the O of his mouth accentuates

..and the Scream pervades...

*Fall* was right...
Everyone can at least related with this one..
I must say this one is rather darker than your usual work..
I like it nonetheless...(Miss your work btw) :P

I believe when someone is feeling real heart ache it does affect their soul to the point it screams. Nicely done I think everyone should be able to relate to this. Nicely done!

[Coyote Poetry]

A very scary dream I believe. Your description and detail made this monster seem real. No weakness in the poem. The story got stronger with each line. A excellent poem with a powerful ending.
