poemspage POEMS BORN OF PAIN

UNTITLED

BY anaise

drop by silent drop
this wounded heart
grown old so young
exists in mute rage,
a scream without breath
buried within the tatters
of eden where nothing grows

beat by silent beat half a heart labours where a full heart would fail, tears lost in the rain, a forgotten riverbed running the breadth of eden where nothing flows

ache by stifled ache this clenched fist bound within my chest wearies of endless struggle, a stinging unmarked path traversing the bitter debris of eden where no one goes

fury by ragged fury this nova heart vacant and battered cold trips its frozen tempo, a bloodless abandoned abattoir the eye in the storm of eden that no one knows

seeking,never finding feeling,never binding


MOUTHS OR WOUNDS

Mouths and knives to choose from.
Little touch
Reaches
Under skirt,
Over stocking tops,
Long fingernails on female.
Eroticism throws me tawdry and tasteless.
My sex is lipsticked,
Burning blood red.
(When we are silent,
We are not mouths,
But wounds.)
I whisper my love to her,
And seek her mouth.
I was born needing
To communicate
In all forms.

Consumed By Fire
Rachel Crawford

I saw two eyes of flame
In my sleepy dream
My voice was silent
I could not scream
I thought I was
But no one came
To save me from...
The eyes of flame
They pierced my body
And my soul...
Over me they hovered
In a short time
The eyes of flame
Became my passionate lover
