Ashes

Hell's perpetual fires Burning up my frenzied desires I'm gurgling up a rebellion Can you feel it frothing? You sure have claws That scratched my skin raw The blood is everywhere Do you see it spilling? I barely recognised your voice Cold and harsh like beaten up ice My ephemeral lovesong was meant to be sung Can you hear it dying? Just one more knot Tied up your body to the cot I'm pouring the fuel around Don't you smell it burning? Goodbye my sweet love Endure what you deserve I've been waiting to burn you to ashes Did you see this coming?

So dark and ... well ... poetically homicidal! (if that makes sense) ... Very well written with intensity and forthcoming-ness ... no punches withheld. Your ending question-lines really immerses the reader in your searing emotions. Can you see me smiling? Congrats on your podium win!

The romantic vengeance and grity passion made me admire the spirit of this intense poem of justice and liberation Sohini. I've always thought, that if I were to be murdered, I'd prefer it be done by the woman I love...this poem relates to my heart in many ways. "Cold and harsh like beaten up ice, my ephemeral love song was meant to be sung, can you hear it dying..." powerful poetry, this really slaps my heart beautifully...J.A.B.
