"despoiler" poems
Have you felt its bite?
The terrible
Horrendous
Ever-opening
Maw that
Threatens to
Devour all my
Certainty.
It gorges upon all that is
Bright.
Black breath flows
Over me
A
Blight
that saps my strength
My soul yearns to take flight!
Yet here i remain
Paralyzed by the
Gaze of this unrelenting
Beast,
Doubt.
Will there be
Restoration?
Can i hope for
Resuscitation?
Or is my yearning
Merely the
Death throes of
Passion
Burning
Burning
Burning
Out like a
Candle
Lit dinner?
It shall not
Come from you,
Romance.
You rose-colored
Vagabond.
Food for the maidens
Dream.
Despoiler of my
self
esteem.
i require another
To sustain
Me.
i know it can
Be found.
One who can
Remove this yoke
From me.
Who can vanquish this doubt?
Who shall turn my discordant
notes
of Sin
Into a sinphony?
He is the
One
That will catch my boulder
As it threatens to crush
Me
At the bottom of this
Hill.
So come to me!
i haven’t the strength to yell.
If you can hear
Then
You are
Well acquainted with
My
Bones
Breaking.
i am not
Strong.
Of this i
know
For the wilting of the
Lily
Told me
so.

No law or compulsion
In the history of man
Has vanquished the spirit
Or sullied his plan.
No preponderance of nastiness
Or heavy of hand
Have diluted the soul
Of a son of this land.
No oppressive demeanor
Or depraved mood
Have squandered the heart
Of my family brood.
No rule of despondency
Patterned or plain
Will blunt the edge
Of this febrile brain.
No damaged tissue?
No rendered dream?
Pass on cruel smile
With your cold eyed gleam.
Yes, get thee gone
Oh despoiler of men
Or feel the fury
Of my vengeance then!

Crushed
The only way I feel
Not one of love
Nor born of lust
Crushed
A shelter of my soul
A sliver of my pain
Splinter my reign
All hail the fool
The ***** little fool
Crushed
Crushed
Crushed
So crushed
So many pieces
I can't be resolved
Crushed
Destroyer
Breaker of the union
Despoiler of the sacred vow
You filthy animal
You ***** cow
Crushed
I'm divided
Crushed
I'm decided
Crushed
By lust
But not mine
Your shadow will forever shroud my soul
I put walls up
But down they go
Beat down by the flood
Born of heated hate
A stampede of regret
A new reprobate
So say "hi"
Say hi to your crimes
To to speak through your cries
Nobody hears at night
Because then you must lie
I'm fine
But why
why
why
why
why
Why did you crush my soul
Beyond the spirit
Beyond my bone
