Ravenous beauty

chews on the rind

Ravenous beauty

claws on The mind

Fiddly meddling mirror

disfigures the soul

Ravenous Beauty

The snake that swallows the oyster whole

little girl alone
blue no longer a color
but heart's mourning song.
Saddal Diab Feb 2018
I greeted my dream

Shock engulfed me as I saw

A boiling cursed creature

Walking stick and hunched back

piercing eyes carved crow’s feet

With mangled emotion

It cried

“You have betrayed me”

Cradle the night sky

Scowling owl and flapping bat

Unction of blue moon
Saddal Diab Feb 2018
I confess that I am guilty

Of the shame that entrenches

Of my hand that doesn’t clutch

Yet recoils and dampens stiff

Of my joints

Weary

Of my gaze

Strained

Of myself

Harmed

— The End —
