Self DestructionA Poem by Lesley WoodMy fires burn on the outside, and my fire is flesh...
My fires burn
On the outside,
And my fire
Is FLESH
That flickers & widens
Out of control
Greed and over consumption
Is truly the root of all EVIL
My horns grow longer. &
My roots, my roots,
my roots are on FIRE.
How to quench
How to put
This DESIRE-
OUT!
GONE!
Buried & forgotten
This DESIRE,
This FLESH
Needs to fade
Into GRAY
Into BLACK
Into sweet oblivion.
Heavy shackles
Heavy chains
Need to bind this DEVIL
Steel doors &
Heavy traps
Under solid stone;
This EVIL Please go. © 2018 Lesley Wood |
