Poem -
IN YOUR EYES
The mirror in your eyes is wicked fierce;
It views infected truth reflected backward!
My soul’s past and future is held captive
At the lip of the abyss, then you hurl me over
Only to rescue my remnants for re-sacrifice.
Each second gets smaller as you unravel
Me slowly shackling me with a single cord
Attached to your dispassionate anger.
This is synthetic love embolden by the serrated
Mastery of your façade of passive devotion!
Your rationale is defined by savagery
Intent upon debilitating my independence.
I’ve hidden my wisdom in the burning
Heart of the sun; it will crystalize
Your perception… the mirror will break.

how do you do such amazing work!?!?
I absolutely adore the wording, descriptive, pin point accuracy of emotions!
"infected truth reflected backward", "rescue my remnants for resacrifice"
however, a beautiful work, a dark reality I fear!
wish the best for you valerie
thanks for sharing
Hi Stephen…Thanks so much…I sometimes write in darkness where terror lurks. This poem was actually about my ex-husband.

You write with such depth Val, that for me sometimes your pearls of poetry gets missed, I have read and reread this and it becomes clearer and gets better and better each time! Such an ugly subject, so eloquently put!! A vote and a nomination from me Val!! :)
Hi Rachel! Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I'm glad that you see what I was trying to convey. Verbal cruelty, force fed to someone daily can be debilitating and full of terror. I think it is worse than being hit because it penetrates deeper.
Thank you so much for you vote and nomination!
