Creeping murk

Creeping murk

A Poem by Jyoti_Ablaze


So many screams muffled into silences

Silences that echoed through the walls

Walls that wept blood, night and day

The blood clotted and turned black

As black as her sooty eyes.

Powerful use of words. You said a handful in so few words. Nice visions create by good description and strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You are welcome.
I read this one earlier, I think yesterday, but set it aside to come back to it and the other two I already reviewed today.
The eyes are mesmerizing, as are your lines of verse that literally speak of that which feels like ugly abuse, depression, and meanness.
I am glad you got this one out of your system … sheesh, Jyoti, your pen got loaded with evil ink!
In your final line, there are two "black" words … maybe, you might consider:

"As black as her midnight eyes." or ebony eyes, or some-such.

Whatever, it may be odd to say, but I love this, and the picture is the perfect choice to set the ambience and mood for the power in your words to come; brilliant work, Dear Poetess … thank you! 〜 Richard

Well, I rarely (if ever) read other people's reviews … it feels like eavesdropping.. read more

I like the progression of this poem....each vision echoing in another. I would, however, like to see a word other than "black" to describe her "coal-black" eyes.

Good thing it's non-alcoholic ( : O )
Pain which can not be explained by the words but can be understood only through the spaces between them. Deep cathartic write.

Yes the pain of emptiness..
Thank you for your comment!
Wow! Great piece.

"Silences that echoed through the walls"

Very powerful and haunting words, that says so much and can be interpreted in so many ways.
Sometimes silence can be unbearable, and deafening. But silence is silence and it shouldn't make sense, but it does to me. :)

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you!
I am not usually one that dabbles with the darker side of life anymore, I spent too much time, if you will, uncover, being someone other than myself.
But, your poem is good. Concise and very well written!
