Frozen moments down the drain,
Ive been bitten by their mark.
Their coldness seeps into my veins
And crack my sullen heart.
Distorted by the raining wet,
An endless shroud of filmy grey,
I only see your silhouette
Stretched into the night then day.
My heart’s a bowl of tarnished tears
Carved by ceaseless thoughts of you,
worn ragged by the endless years
Of suffocating, singing blues.
I drink so memories decay,
to waste away’s my only duty.
so that my minds in disarray
Into an abyss of nightmarish beauty.
A rainbow made of rusty marrow
Ebbs into the dusk so dim,
Leaving a rainy arc so narrow
Of scattered lust beneath my skin.
My withered breath begins to rattle
a feeble flutter beneath my chest.
The shudder in my shoulders’ saddle
The hollow voice of empty guests.
Deep canyons carved into my fingers,
Clenched and blackened by the cold.
where frozen memories do linger
slipping from my waning hold
I hear them murmuring within
While lying crippled on a cot
whispering of hopeless sin
where by their side i rot

This is beautiful.
WIG, whilst you may have taken offence to comments made by Stendarr, to claim that she’s not articulate or eloquent simply betrays your bias. I, for one, enjoy seeing some poetry written in a metre that wouldn’t be found in a Dr Seuss book, perhaps you should take some notes.
I don’t know what you’ve been told
“Wig’s poetry” – We all just lol’d
Written with an ounce of crack
Shake my head, that’s wig-gity, wig-gity whack
Platoon! One Finger Only, Present – ARMS!
(Sorry, couldn’t resist. Kthnxbai.)
Oh, and Stendarr: 11/10. – Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Thank you Rogue, really 🙂
Cognitive dissonance; the excessive mental stress and discomfort that an individual experiences when holding two or more conflicting beliefs. For example:
A) I’m a man who writes poetry and I’m smarter than most women.
B) There is a woman who writes much better poetry than me.
It’s not difficult to understand why the man in this scenario would be delusional.
Delusional; Stubbornly clinging to a belief despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
I don’t think it’s nice to be mean to WIG. He’s upset because his ex-wife finally came to her senses. He believed that she existed to serve him and he was wrong. She had the audacity to do what she felt was best for her, and WIG hasn’t yet learned that human beings are not property who exist simply to serve him. He must put on his big boy pants and fend for himself now. Let’s cut him some slack – he’s doing the best job that he’s capable of doing considering the limited cognitive tools he has to work with.
Smile!!!!
God loves you!!!! 🙂
Didnt you know that?
I thoroughly enjoyed the poem and am going to tops TMS with a 12/10. It was very well executed, and I can tell you’ve already grown out of your Dr. Seuss habits. I like it 🙂
Nice poetry, really liked it. But what is wrong with Dr. Seuss? lol
