Extinguish

Inspired by my poet friend Muse. I wanted to explore a "darker" side of poetry and the psyche...

Huddled in the corner

of your mind

 I breed. . .

lust

fear

contempt

scandal

love

hate

sex

pain

It's all neatly packaged in what you

want

me 

to 

    do

. . . but first

your conscience must be slain

Oh my! Really?? The music is even perfection! I see you found her website just fine. lol
It feels good doesn't it? To write raw and real? Human emotions are not always rainbows with unicorns. We feel hurt and despair too...even lust and love. Speaking of..this is NOT about puppy love. It is about owning someone "your conscience must be slain". This is so perfect "with your permission" of course...I want to add you to my series. It will be the 13th hour. It will be part of my world...my poems...but the 13th hour will be a reflection of a different dimension...your thoughts...your words. I will not post it for ratings with a link to your work. Say yes?

This is a gut-wrenching poem.

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks for stopping by...not sure if that's in a good or bad way....

[icelandicblue]

Any poem that elicits an emotion is a good poem. Not all poetry is light and feathers.

[The Analog Kid]

I agree (just don't let family members read it, since they assume everything is autobiographical). Trying to branch out into that a bit. Nice to meet you, I will check out some of your stuff also!

[icelandicblue]

Nice to meet you too.

[Muse]

You've done a good job of it. This really could be on the popular page if you ask me.
