The Devil

23 July 2010
Posted by soulconstance   in Single Poems
[i]I know what it means to have sympathy for the devil.
I walked beside him, holding his hand.
I kissed his lips, smiled as I looked into his eyes.
I laid next to him night after night,
and held him as he confessed his sins.

Once upon a time, I loved the devil.
I gave to him pieces of me
that I had never given to anyone.
I spoke freely of my...

Circumstances

In between the circumstances
of you and me are the curtains that
leave us to bleed on your sofa,
but you decree that it has to be
you and me
between the unpleasant trees.

I'd Rather Float

[i]Jump headfirst into this dismal light,
a swimming pool filled by plight.
Take your shadows with you!
Those angels cursed with flight
will show you down the rabbit hole
one more time, everything is wrong.
I'm not real, you were right.
Safe for now by hurricanes bellow you
I'll drink in all of these...

The Fox Howl

The day squeezed through
the nights, tainted into.
Foxes howled?
Since when or where?

"She cried and it
sounded there."
Let me explain.

Evolution

I am rebuilding myself from the ground up.
Everything was broken down and in crumbles.
But now I am constructing myself to be stronger-
with a concrete base and metal structure.

Heartache

Is this not me,
here, stuck in spite,
living in the darkness
of my own light.
As the spirit is released
breath catches me swiftly
calling for that which
I never sought, trusting.
Love touch the light
in gleaming kiss,
stripping the spite
from this wisp.

Know Me

Ribbon

[i]Twisting ribbons reveal
the knots in the wire.
Lines consume and cut away
a heart broken and lonely.

Far from eye's reach seen,
strings dance and sway
underneath covers
upon fake tile floors.

Holding and connecting,
falling and believed.
The morning changes,
day fall crashes confusion.

Connections tear
and show for the...

Trigger Warning

Warning: Some of my poetry and prose may be triggering. I write just about as much about survivor issues as I do about love.
Please keep yourself safe.
