Full Framed Devil (a poem Im not sure I like)

[LilThought]

Full Framed Devil

full framed devil,

you’re so fiendish
and clever
you make murder look
twice as sweet as
the sweetest day

like wet raindrops
and
the softest feathers
or
the beauty of a night’s sky

I’ll never be as
free if free is ever free
not with this hold
pining over my skin

you’re a classic maneuver
against me, my mind, my sanity

there’s no one else, but you here
and
I’m no where to be found

I look at you—
no, it’s much more than that
I stare at you until my eyes
burn rivers dry
forests collapse and
deserts flood over

all day and all night
it’s only you

and I am translucent

a crystal ray of white light
a whisper no one hears
a silent cry
a bruised ghost


I see you there
you make a mockery of my place
in life and here
my connection to you is infinite

This is mine
my camouflaged, ridiculed self

and such a horrible haste of tongue
for such an idle object
full of glass and reflection
and uselessness

yet still,
you avow power
that indescribable force
that cataclysm

and I’m shattered property
your slave and client.

Jamie,

You are actually quite a talented writer. I enjoy your poems, even your darker ones like this one, immensely and look for them when I come to the boards. Thank you for sharing your words. I don't know where you are in the journey to health, but I find myself hoping you are moving in that direction in part so that you have more and more internal space to create these poems, space to let your gift breathe and grow.

Take good care.
