The Hunter

The Hunter

A Poem by Preliving
"

For the hunted.

"

Blood red.

Dribble, drip.

 

Life obscured by “rebellion”

Stripy sleeves fade slowly.

Whispered lives brought to the fore

the dead of night brings life to light.

 

Chocolate brown.

Scratch, scratch.

 

Longing and lust play on faces.

Giggles and grins pressed into pillows.

Rushes of warmth swell into bloom

eyes hide from joy as heads spin.

 

Pink as petals.

Hidden? Hid.

 

A slap in the face.

Burst of heat.

Falling, falling, further and further

saved by a  twisted parachute.

 

White as snow.

Perfectly pure.

 

No tears of pain.

Monotony numbs the sharpest stab.

Always too good to be true

shame, regret, disappointment are old friends.

 

Blood red.

Dribble, drip.

I thought you showed your relationship with the emotions you expressed well. I loved the line "shame, regret, disappointment are old friends." Well written and I can relate.

I'm a young Irish student of theatre, but I love to write (or attempt to) write poetry in my spare time. Most of my inspiration is personal so my work tends to be quite emotionally based. Any and all .. more..
