Concealed

Concealed

A Poem by Tai Ryens
"

Some hurt more than others.

"

Sharpened razor awaits

Behind forbidden tongue;

Ready to slice when

Abstained lullaby is sung.

 

The caged crow knows why its here,

Sing, it really should;

But hollow heart pumps liquid;

Cold as slain blood.


Inside the cage is another enclosure,

In which domestic linguists exist as a brood;

Cheers fail to escape hushed lips,

As the crow wars to keep them mewed.


Reticent carols await the moment

For the crow to croon;

But to spare its own life;

Lyrics must not be sung soon.

This is so beautiful! I absoloutly LOVE the last lines:
"But to spare its own life;
Lyrics must not be sung soon"
For some reason, I couldn't help but read them over and over...
Well done!

Again another dark piece - loved it! Great use of words and it rhymed really well. Good job

It's sinister and sweet . . . Evil and innocent. With just the way you string together the words, but the content they display after construction is so much beyond simple verses.
The second stanza got to me, "But hollow heart pumps liquid;", I find that very dreamy. I wonder, is it about how silence kills?

Well done. But I wonder why the bird doesn't... Self-pride? Sadness, perhaps?
