Rift!

A look at what may happen in your dreams, tonight!

Screams fill my head with soothing thoughts,

Blood, red as lips linger in my skin and print,

His heart still pumps without care or motion,

My eyes narrow to form a stellar squint.

 

Ceremony negates force behind murder,

Kissing him lightly as thanks for the gift,

Witches, satanists, evil are now people,

No more will science be stated as rift.

 

Gather your illusions for truth is bared,

Cater for no one, but parents that stay,

Grave matters are no more holding to you,

Two men are now insects with no further fray.

 

Special treats for cats that tell tales,

Mindless spells are true words for me,

Take care to sleep well for tonight,

I may be there, with a kiss, to be free.

Author's Note

Allow yourself to be honest, as it may be the only way!

No talent has been lost in the time you've been gone my friend. It seems you've grown in talent.
Dreams are a very interesting aspect of life, and a very interesting topic to discuss as it seems not many people have the same dreams or expiriences. They tell a story that can either frighten you, bring you to tears, make you bubble with joy, or clench with rage.
That very first line seems it should contradict itself in a literal sense, but the more you look at it the more you see screams can be soothing. It just all depends on the perspective.
A very nice write for being back my friend. I enjoyed reading.

A delightfully contradictory piece with a lot to think about. I really like your use of some harsh images in your poems - very effective and always makes me stop and think!

[Nobody.]

Yep. Love it.
A favorite.

Very much enjoyed the wording in which your thoughts were expressed. The descriptive allegories and thought provoking principles housed by your meticulous choice of expressions and words, proves all is well in modern poetry.
