Deliverance
The desire to survive,
in a landscape strewn
with rocks and weeds,
grows weaker and weaker
with each waning moon,
every time less able
to revive what little light
I might still dream of.
Thus, the tiger that follows me
to the edge of the night
looks like a friend,
eyes gleaming with promise,
teeth as soft as deliverance.

This is a really great poem! I do love the use of metaphors brought forth this really powerful message. The last line is truly my favorite, as the words describe how the death bound blow has introduced the comfort of freedom and liberation.
Really great work M.

I really enjoyed this one. It has a luminous sense of imagery and the subtly dark, even Gothic tone that I love.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
The imagery in this is impeccable and the emotion palpable.

Something that happens fairly often to me, but after all, it's the kind of thing that happens to everybody, as you said. Thank you for stopping by!

Aching for growth, and frustrated with solace, I find relation to this. Such depiction gives me hope and inspiration that other artists can share and take similar fashion in capturing such language and way of expression. I like the visuals and direction. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so glad you were able to find some degree of comfort in my poem. I often experience such extreme feelings of despondency, and sometimes it's really difficult not to go over the edge. Thank you for your words!
