Blood Blinded

 

Living by the sword

guarantees a lifetime

of bloodshot eyes

and a lifeline channeling

the red sea with no hope of parting it…

no miracle… no savior…

Melancholy cries are futile

when the tears are saltfree

as per politically correct regulations…

legislated emotions…

Every twinkle surrounding

that delusional lunar smile

are burning holes

in the souls of sinners

making deals with the devil

to restore their innocents…

unlived childhoods…

unrehearsed dreams…

So look into the mystery of

the midnight sky

before the morning light

burns away the truth

between good and evil

and the blood dries

your eyes shut…

forever blind.

Powerful piece.. the references and images are extremely attention grabbing, and speak mountains. Nice write.

For some reason this reminds me of a movie we're watching in english, The 13th warrior,i dont know why though. Anywho, Like all your other work, i loved this and have nothing bad to say about it.

When you are making deals with the devil. You shall pay one day in ten-folds. Poem told a true and twisted tale. I rarely watch TV. Few straight shooter. Too much B.S and lies. I like the complete poem. A very strong ending. A outstanding poem.
