Posit the guile entity The lost, enters without warning Mostly death, but severed hearts Also are placed within its hands A signifier of painful art Worshipped by the insane But longed for by the lonely And lost, who enter knowingly This being bends, and breaks The bones of the weary And lowers the esteem Of all those that are still lost And which have given up hope Those that bring in the pain as if This is their world now He kills the lost Like it is nothing but sacrifices To him and his flawless bones He likes to play with the souls As if they are a toy To squeeze and to pierce Blood escapes their pulsating hearts The lonely believe they are supposed To be there, and experience this pain That the world must crumble Just like what he does with his hands Once within his sights There is no escape Pain is a mainstay, until death Comes and take you away… Russell Sivey

Very dark poem w/Gothic sharp edges, Russell. A brilliant write that plumbs the depth of hopelessness. The portal of pain is abandoned hope's domain. Your pen is dipped in bright gold w/dark silver streaks of truth essential. I admire your courageous foray into matters a lot of poets/poetesses shy away from. Your adept pen voice speaks w/authority and authenticity. A kryptonite write. Supernova burst of creativity. Pure poetry, my friend. Love and more love always.

This is very dark and hopeless in feeling.
