Bruised & Burnt Poem by Doom & Gloom
Bruised & Burnt
I feel as though my skin is taut & stretched so tightly over bone
On a rack my body caught stretched until my form has grown
I feel as though my head is cracked & all I am is fading fast
Insanity has now attacked, erasing present, future, past.
I feel as though my heart has died & rots inside my broken chest
Polluting all I am inside, and spreading to devour the rest.
I feel as though the end is nigh & I shall burn in fire bright
In pain is how I now will die & in the darkness give you light.
I love the way the physical imagery is used to show the inner spiritual torment. Quite nifty really!
Oh my, what a shame, this is so sad, it truly is. I can certainly understand the last line, which indicates without this darkness the partner of this individual would now experience light. I would rather think though that this unhappy person seek the light themselves. Excellent poem never-the-less--Mevina--
I would prefer that you not think like that, but, if you must ... given where you are coming from ... that is actually well said! B.V.A.

You definately have a talent like few in the world my friend, but I'm worried about your soul. It cannot just be that you imagine these things you are writing. I think you must be experiencing them to be able to express it so vividly. May you find peace... 'For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? ' Mark 8: 36
