Loathly Drear
Loathly Drear
Hollow the deep,
a bitter life so spun
Malice for dreams,
in heart of loathly drear
Drawn breath of life,
one's air of putrid stench
All within reach,
victims to direful touch
Conscious set side,
glowers besmirching eyes
Ominous look,
reflections of inner self
Portal to soul,
consumed by plaguing mire
Dark languid pools,
void emission of light
From grimaced smile,
lashes vile scorching tongue
The voice so stings,
spewing forth spittled fire
Thoughtless fool,
shallow ways come with due
Destined to fall,
stumbling across the heaped
Abandoned cries,
known faces turn away
Presence that's shunned,
suffers own loathly drear

Thank you, Sue. I had no idea
Thank you, Sue. I had no idea if this piece would be recieved well by anyone. It's slightly choppy - but, of course, that was the intention. All in all - I just wanted to write, what I consider to be, a relaxing piece... Something quick - without much fanfare. So this is what I ended up with.
