DarkPoetry -|- Zhee -|- Atrophy

Atrophy

blood is smeared all over
the fractured mirror of my eyes,
dripping to paint a livid red
landscape of corroding lies.

seeping through fissured visions
the arid dictum of feeling,
in the crevices of the eroded soul -
the subtle atrophy of my being....

Did you ever hear the Clive Barker quote. He said "Every body is a book of blood. Whenever we're open, we're red." This poem expresses that phrase most eloquenty. Thank you. ~Shane~

I loved the second stanza, though none of it was unloveable. Short yet abundant in imagery.
