So I wrote a bunch of poems recently and I wanted to share them because I really like them and I'm actually considering publishing them...
Let me Bleed Out in a Church
Gentle hymns brush my ears
Quiet hands touch God
Humanity is torn from them for that silent moment
We are submissive
God is our dominatrix
His eyes burn holes in my cranium
Inhuman and nauseating to the retinas
As crimson ichor spills on the icy porcelain below me
Connected hands ignore
And pray my murderer treats me kindly in my quietus
Broken Snapple Bottle
When your bleeding hands shattered glass
And pushed that dagger into my heel
Then you burned it out with the lighter
That you used for your cigarettes
Did you think about years later
When my feet are obliterated
Or have you ripped me out of your head?
Lucifer is Kind to me
As a god of virtue casts me down
For nothing more than a scuff on my soul
Intertwined legs and rushed kisses
Shared with a lover I shan’t touch
What a mistake we have made
To caress and share the allure of tongues that brush
And hands that pull us together
When our lords say we are worth nothing
Now I am stripped of my divinity
I am an ant.
What is a Temple if not my Grave
My body is a temple
Oh, how I despise temples.
I am unclean in the eyes
Of those who reside in holy light
And I will light God on fire.
Yeah, I'm really proud of these and I'll probably repost this more than once because I do really like them and I'm very proud of my work. If you want me to explain any of them I can, but sometimes even I don't know what my metaphors mean.
