would you be my valentines

02/13

Unfelt rain falls before hollow eyes

                                 conjured from sadness

An unwanted void pushes storm clouds

                                 across dead skies

Anger settles in the stomachs of

                                 the unfed 

Kept at bay, away from

                                 beautiful loves

Away from the lights of

                                 our lives

Left in the dark to bathe in

                                  forced iniquities

Twisting furiously, covered 

                                  in bloodless sweat

I am filleted on a bed of

                                  your enchantments

Conscientiously suspended from the hooks

                                 of an altered reality

My only substance is prophecies circled 

                                 in code on pages

Utterances of ancient tongues pulse through

                                my dry veins 

Taking me away then bringing me closer  

                                to a starless heaven

I really enjoyed reading the words you have written here! It is evident that every word in every line was carefully placed to build the fantastic piece that is your poem. Great work!
