God's gift
The man's a fool
bleeding tears upon rosary beads
in a blacked out room
frightened to death of life
and all its living
"There's never a plague when you need one"
he mumbled while eyeing a young girl
through a hole in his curtain
"the whore" he spat
bleeding tears upon rosary beads
in a blacked out room
frightened to death of life
and all its living
"There's never a plague when you need one"
he mumbled while eyeing a young girl
through a hole in his curtain
"the whore" he spat

A marvellously sinister and elegant poem. Fear, voyeurism, religious derangement, all encapsulated by this short, concise piece. The dark irony of the title is scarily bitter, and the priest you let us glimpse is repellant. Immediate reading list add.
A couple of grammatical nits. "It's" doesn't need an apostrophe, and "eyeing" should be spelt like so.
Thanks for the read, Eamonn

Cheers, Jack
Sinister is really what i was trying for with this.
Glad all the different aspects of what i was thinking came across so well for you.
thanks much for the listing, honored i am.
fixed 'its', eyeing showed up as a misspell when i first wrote it so when i spell checked it eying was the option that was presented.Must be a yank thing like gray.

for all that we seek
there is not a more pleasureable treat
than the aroma of panties that leak
when temptation slowly begins to creep
even with great Faith desire makes us weak
hungering for that taste of something sweet
between thighs we bow in a manner so discreet
& say grace....its time to eat....lol

Eh,
Good of you to drop by my humble pages, Preacherman.
personal i like to draw a line between the weak and the predators.
interesting though to get your perspective and insight.
thanks again Goodest.

eamon you know your words are always riviting....& i almost was going to go with the predator theme because of the mention of the young girl but when you said "the whore he spat" then that gave me the impression that she was either willing or of legal age....leading to weakness....lol

This captures not only the reader but makes you worry for the girl, I'm impressed. I love the domination in every word and the conviction before irony. Bravo

LA,
thanks for your kind words of praise, very encouraging to read them it is.
btw the bastard murdered the girl about an hour later, the things he done to her were unspeakable then he went home...and prayed. :)
thanks again.

This is a suprising and elegant piece of work in the completeness of the images without excessive flora. Professionally and beautifully structured in my opinion. Well done.
