2d

dead poet

the banshee wails loud -
coddles the heart of darkness;
the echoes shiver.

2d

dead poet

the fishhook plunges -
catches a big one, adrift;
the tension scales up.

2d

dead poet

desperation grips
the mind, hell-bent on treason;
the devil grins, proud.

2d

dead poet

a beautiful smile
penetrated my blunt heart;
the pain felt knifelike.

2d

dead poet

perilous forests
lay bare: sheer, dark, and sincere;
so many secrets.

2d

dead poet

my grudges relish
the taste of isolation;
bitter by the day.
