No Shame Do I Feel...

[anirbas]

My heart bleeds...
Drip, drip, drippping
unrepenetant, fiery tears
of weeping vermillion
at the fathomless desecration
of a once upon a time,
fine to behold,
metaphorical
temple of cyphers
and symbols,
built and gifted
by an Aurorian being
to share the grace
of the written word...
Now an altar slurred...
Lustmongers, no better
than moneychangers!
Shame on you and no shame do I feel,
for saying what's real and on the lips
of the many, not the few...

...weeping vermillion...

IMHO this is a wonderfully supercharged masterpiece of expression. In my brief sojourn into the poetry universe I
am finding that certain words will sometimes seem to jump
off the page and make me stop and just absorb the imagery
for awhile. These two seemingly simple words certainly did
the trick.

~Take Back the Sceptor

I love you dearly, my sweet, sweet friend...
But, there are some places I shan't ever visit again...
Here, is where you shall find beauty galore...
Always, here, you are wanted and most welcomed...
A place to share your beauteous spirit with me and us...
I am sorry your dream of a circle of creativity has been tamped out...
For you are so generous and kind, sweet Aurorian being,
you deserved more than that...Howsomever,
should you take back the sceptor of your original endeavor...
Then, and only then, might I break my word and return...
No shame do I feel for pointing out what is and isn't real...
I said what you and others wished to be said...
And I don't care, if others wish me dead
for opening my mouth of the south...
