Mouth full of grit

your chrysalis   

falls   

time it calls   

& shatters   

at my feet   

releasing you   

into   

the blue   

to be set free   

of me   

i take the shards   

shuffle the cards   

inject them   

into   

my blood so deep   

you trip my mind   

I feel it climb   

into your masterpiece   

I fade within   

succumbed by sin   

it is   

my   

only   

peace   

& after all   

the church bells   

 call   

I rest here   

on my knees   

wishing you   

would come back to   

the hell   

you shared with me   

after a while   

i give a smile   

to my   

incomplete   

when nighttime   

comes   

I lay with guns   

& wander   

empty streets   

& after all   

i find you   

there   

a thousand kisses deep

A lot said in the poetry. I liked the honest tone and directness of the thoughts. Strong flow of thoughts led to very good ending. I wanted to know and read more. Thank you Terry for sharing the amazing poetry.

Hi Terry Smith:This is so cool and reminiscent of some of the stuff written during the sixties.
