Shields of Words

I don't usually do poems…my poems before this have been undoubtedly surreal. What do you think?

I'm placing the usual dedications here, I love you all…and the disclaimer speaks THIS IS MINE!

This poem is about the way Jessi and James never reveal how they really feel about eachother because they are weak…this isn't really how I feel about them…but the words seemed to speak that. Should I keep going with poetry?

A cry in the night

A feeble attempt to hold back

They know what they want

The know what they lack

The silence is broken

The thief picks the lock

The heart ruptures open

The ship reaches dock

The claws soften

They skid across pale skin

They are weapons of the self

The heart beckons destruction in

The unknowing eyes mask the truth

The hurt caused by their words

Stale corpses flesh stolen

Brutal scavengers, the carrion birds

Their hearts are always masked

A shield of words, each one a lie

An insult, a slur, that's all there is

On their beds of desire may they die

The End

Love and Kisses,
