Willow in the Water

Willow in the Water

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

~~~

"
Whisper to me not,
For I've found you
To be guilty. 
Your shrieking plea's
Will not to me reach.

You are a pathetic mongrel,
A maggot worm at these feet of mine.
And I hear your solemn cries,
Your blasphemous wails
As I peer through the looking glass.

Your dirty face teems with 
Flesh-eating creatures,
Your cracked lips peeling back
To reveal the pit that is your throat.

Shall I empty my pain
Into your gullet?
Shall I let you suck upon
The teat that is the breast of my suffering?
Swallow, b***h.

If you be me.

This is very fiery and emotional, well performed. The grotesque imagery was a beautiful thing to read as well, especially the part about the cracking lips revealing the throat, not the mouth. I did find the line "swallow, b***h" to somewhat kill the vibe, as the rest was constructed in such a spiteful and mature manner that that part seemed to childish compared to the rest. Another well done piece.

you're welcome...you hold interest...more will come to see you...I'm sure of that...
You portray the fury of a scorned lover really poignantly, well done. Might I say, fourth stanza is my personal favorite, aha.
