Description
Staring down redStaring down my savior
Disowning hate
And love
And death
Serving a master
Ordered everlasting destruction
Though nothing lasts forever
One long poisonous fang
Piercing my left wrist
And experiencing shock,
Too great for pain
I open my veins
For the cringing venim
Philip, standing, witnessing
No longer frightening the beast
No longer my aid
And ignoring my pleads
The White Lion strikes again
Each newly shed blood
Strips an inch from my life
I am bound to his trust
Until I realize the pain of love
That will set me free
In horrified anger
The Lion tears through my skin again
With sharp jagged teeth
But I rip away
Coming eye to eye with my own
"Look at my body.
Look at my wrists.
Look at ME.
I am on longer
Bound to YOU."
Chains dismissed
Greeted then, with the surreal
Pain of emptyness
I walk into the snow
The White Lion waits for me
And without acknowledgement
We leave our old mistakes
Into the stinging coldness
Wandering, though not forever
Nothing lasts forever
Only the scars to grant my freedom.

agreed, your sense of "ok, this is what I'm saying, interpret it the way you want" is awsome. I have to say that your poetry (what I've read so far) is some of the deepest I've ever read. I always love it when you post, because I have something to break up the motony of my day, and sit back and think about your words.
