Peace

Written Oct. 18, 2020

Collisions of bronze and cool metal

A delicate flower

Walking down the aisle

Rushing down without any clear path

Only to find the source

Of that sinister smile

Memories of crouching and limbos

Games that no one but one

Would consider so fun

Every time a new kiss is planted

A bruise sprouts from the seed

To his prideful hands

A shadow arrives to show her love

Swallowing the woman

In a comforting hole

Wanted by one with the rose knife

Bringing with her the gift

Of nonexistent strife

Author's Note

Based off the book "Rose Madder," by Stephen King.

This poem had so many issues I had to fix. Structure was apparently nonexistent to me back then; I didn't think of syllables or stanzas, my thought process was simply "write something angsty and divide it between random sets of lines."

Reviews

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

This is a very good poem that reveals in subtle ways the domestic abuse of a relationship it describes. King has always been one of my all time favorite prolific writers since his story The Dead Zone. I think he would enjoy this poem of yours inspired by one of his works. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
