Sanctury of Bones

Die

 

Die Now

 

Ground open up and

Swallow me whole

 

I want to live in

The cavities of my bones

So deep that I can

No longer feel

Your insidious tentacles

Exploring the softness

Of my Being

 

You

Would steal

My innocence in a breath

Sucking on me like

A boiled sweet then

Discarding me

With the wrapper

 

Speak

 

Speak Now

 

They say my eyes speak

But no one seems to understand

Their subtle language and I

Have not yet learned

To speak with my

Bones

 

Author's Note

Just want you to know that this poem was written specifically to enter the poetry contest with the challenge of making the host Depressed! I appreciate this is a bit sombre for my first post but that is why...I'll post a funny one too to bring some balance in case it worked ;)

i think you got the emotion right on, I could feel the disdain etc.. for the person it was aimed at. Not bad at all. Did you win by the way?

Thanks KAnderson for your feedback. I do think this is one more women will get more than men, although I'm sure there are many sensitive young men that have been letched at in this wayn too! No I didn't win but it was more the challenge to write it that appealed ;)
