The Last Bitch
This bitch moon
bleeds me hollow
Blind birds
crazed into song
fly at my eyes in the dark
to peck and lunge
as I sit and weep rivers
I have poured out my years
paid in tortured silver
denying myself gold
past barren dawns
and empty bed
as bad dreams cascade
their cruel flow
Now love's lost heart
consumes me whole
black shadows
cursing an empty head
vying their worst
to crush my soul
beleaguered and already dead
bleeds me hollow
Blind birds
crazed into song
fly at my eyes in the dark
to peck and lunge
as I sit and weep rivers
I have poured out my years
paid in tortured silver
denying myself gold
past barren dawns
and empty bed
as bad dreams cascade
their cruel flow
Now love's lost heart
consumes me whole
black shadows
cursing an empty head
vying their worst
to crush my soul
beleaguered and already dead

........lustful.......but hopeless.........agelessly romantic - and the rhythm of this particular verse is the best I have encountered when reading any of your work published to date.
Some of your other fans may dispute this - but for me, this is right up there with anything I have read.
Brilliant.

and absolute, like a finely carved diamond. The image of the birds 'crazed into song' is utterly, amazingly fantastic.

Thanks for that great praise Jack. I'm sure I'm not worthy of such a wonderful comment, but coming from yourself it enourages me greatly - it really does.

This poem gives the reader a sense of hopelessness, as if the will to live has been lost. This entire poem is amazing but the last stanza is so powerfully portrayed, so sensational, it leaves me craving more.
I love it!! :)
