torn-out-side in

J J 1980 (NC)

Soon past moving on,
          This river of scarlet pain.
Merely a portion left unspent,
          the only trace of him undrained.
Passionless about his ways,
          unseen his careless content.
Blind from woe,
          starving on the velvet bent.
Bleeding out his worth,
          his character exposed.
Thrown out to the wolves,
          bitten and unopposed.
Curdled his bloody wrasp,
          the crimson fog of his breath.
Restless whispers,
          ungraceful dance of death.

My friends call me JJ. I’m a word enthusiast. I enjoy the dance between adjectives, nouns and pronouns. I enjoy the rush of verbs, adverbs, and Intransitive verbs. I enjoy the metaphors that link worlds between figures of speech and Truthful dialogue. From disturbing acronyms to predicate adjectives. They keep my mind in this race of who is next on the totem pole of literature.is a face without a mouth, eyes without lids, ears without drums, and a brain without a mind. " please be kind and enjoy. Be mindful Not Malleable. more…
