Crimson Poetry

Burn the light away

Sacrament moments sacrifice virgin blood

Fire the water and baptize the demonic voice that screams within

Peel the flesh and shed the skeleton

Mask yourself inside of lies to protect yourself from torture

Nail my eyes shut and see through the cracks that you scrape by

Callous fingertips bleed failed poetry

Piece the skin back together, puzzled verses

A Symphony hums Hell's melody in a screeching frequency

Walk a mile on scorching concrete burning a hole inside

Inside the empty walls that used to contain your shattered heart

Black roses placed upon the casket bleed a poisonous liquid

Angels fall from the sky with broken wings

A temptation to massacre all that is pure and blessed

Turn the world to darkest caverns of the populations mind

Pierce the white blank page in crimson stanzas

Stain the words with a dark red so she knows how much

That you in fact did bleed for her

A mix of the Individual and social identity that makes the poem a cauldron of struggle and contradictions between the two. Knowing what constitutes the individual experience away from all else would be a place to start. A stark and riveting poem.

Steve does the right thing ; he has a poetic voice that identifies itself ! good work.

[Jennie Baron]

Darkly beautiful, vivid images expressing a strong theme, as Coyote said, of an epic struggle. Splendid writing (again)!

Strong and deep thoughts.
"Angels fall from the sky with broken wings

The poem could become a epic story of struggle. All of us must bleed to feel we are alive. Thank you Stevo for sharing the excellent poetry.
