Description fissures
forming on the surface;
cracking open,
running deep.
a soul inside that
bleeds outward
from the miles of
jagged rock and road
raising upward as
the tiniest of earthquakes
forms the most
devastating destruction.

inside the eyes,
the gateway to the soul.
inside the darkness,
a voice, a name,
calls out into the night;
a melancholy hymn
comes forth.
the beating of two
fists upon a chest.
a heart that screams,
β€œlet me out;
damn it, let me out.”

crying out into the world,
asking for a microphone.
addicted to wanderlust,
and vainglory,
and vices too
numerous to mention,
but there exists
blood inside these veins
which pours down
like rivulets of fire.
fissures form and
the man inside crawls out
begging for a glimpse
at the light again.

Shall I call the assassin out beloved. He so enjoys his time with me. Painting the room with crimson passion. Or would you prefer I call you out, making Flynn burst forth on his own?

Swords, Γ  minuit, mon coeur. Nous allons voir qui est encore debout Γ  la fin ...

*smiles devilishly*
je serai lΓ , aimΓ©.
with a crimson rose to brush across your skin,
to match the color of the blood
you shed from me, ma dΓ©esse de l'amour.

I like the feeling of paranoia and clustrophobia this poems has to it. Good job. Keep it up!

OMG A POEM THAT HELD MY ATTENTION SPAN. Only you could pull off such a feat. This one is worthy of much clapping and stuff, I love the images and the buried-alive feeling. It really caught my attention, I wonder what that says about me.

perhaps flynn feels trapped? o.O
very cool, though. i can see someone trapped inside themselves, like someone's pretending to be something they're not while at the same time wanting to be themselves.
oh, and congrats on the DD.

when does flynn not feel trapped?
(he does so hate this bout of writer's block)

you are very astute, my friend. very astute, indeed.
