a rancid vein
of disappointment
slowly pollutes
the currents of love's river
its rain of words
spreads viscid stain
eating the precious
mental armor of hope
only time can distill
the fetid bane
healing the burn
of emotional corrosion
until again it reigns
peels skin from scar
searing the soul
in acid pain

Bill Dadaalmost 17 years agoVery powerful. I especially liked 'emotional corrosion' and the last three lines.
Anonymousabout 17 years agoMy favorite line:
"mental armor of hope"
Silly, to pick a line and roll with it but this one grabbed at me and won't let go.
champagne1982about 17 years agoYour choices eat at my mind's eye as I visualize each image you present in this poem. An excellent read.
LeBrozabout 17 years agoPowerfully written with carefully chosen words that force an image of pain, healing, and rebirth.
