Crush

Damaso

Starved face 

of internal hell 

eyewitness the outline 

of the spitting goat 

 

Endures the day of traps 

glances of flames 

victim of sweetness 

candy of poison 

the memory of the night 

that almost never returns 

Him companion lies 

tangled among mandrakes 

she is the war of life 

she doesn't plan to leave 

with this vulgar nickname 

the gentle comradely caresses 

give a freshness to her engine 

the mothers of the fair 

her last bastion 

have twisted, with force of love 

the rails of that wagon 

 

With a mind on fire and a cold heart, 

have you ever done anything good? 

Crush her doom with a rock 

now you're called the girl who sells lipsticks.

    This poem like a jigsaw puzzle requires assembly and patience starting with the edges and working toward the middle. Nicely done

      This gave me the sense that the heart has been touched in a good and positive way, over riding the darker element's, enjoyed the read

      • Damaso

        Well, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's true, sir. A heart has been touched by a brotherly caress. A small gesture can be enormous on some nights of endurance. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words of support. Always a pleasure from me. Best regards.

            The poem illuminates the profound intricacies of human existence, inspiring readers to introspectively examine their journeys of struggle, self-discovery, and resilience in the face of adversity, serving as a powerful testament to life's dualities and advocating for compassion and profound understanding.

              Wow, well, I'm so glad you find it that way. That was the point I was trying to make. A small invitation to pause for a minute before reacting hostilely; you never know. Thank you so much for stopping by to read and share your words of encouragement; they're very comforting. Best regards.
