Dignity
Upon this pyre I wait
My sins burning from my flesh
They sizzle and sting
One last kiss before
Breaking their bonds to this flesh
The frankincense and myrrh
Choke and enrage the demons within
They crowd within my throat
Scratching and hissing to break free
They make me cough and sputter
To gasp for the sweet air of life
The dark entity that circles my altar
Shrills with anticipation
It clicks its teeth and claws
Eager to taste my skin
And I crowded yet alone
Endure to die with dignity

Thank you Zazzles I'm happy to be back amongst this great group of poets. I've been struggling with an injury that's come back but I'm doing well thank you for asking. This is what this poem is all about. My injury and the demons it raises. Feels good to write dark poetry again.

Ahhh, xmar82, luv ~ :-*
There is no one who can castigate and annihilate us so well as we can ourselves.
Remember to be kind to yourself, luv. Yes, even should you feel undeserving.
We are all human here and err... :-*
Tis wondrous to see you; I have rather missed you, luv. :-*

When I started writing poetry my first poems were dark ones. Thank you for welcoming me back Kate.
