The Demon Grief

The Demon Grief

A demon called 'GRIEF"
Is devouring my soul.

With razor sharp teeth
It grinds and tears,
Spitting out the essence of life
In bits of gore

That splatter 
The sky,
The earth,
The universe.

Like oozing puzzle pieces,
Decaying as they fly,
Only the ashes remain,
To be blown away in the whispers of 'TIME'.

Time so soft, so long, sharp teeth, bits of gore, endless beauty and pain.

Dark poetry lights up any room :) You offer so much reflection throughout the entire piece. The imagery is vivid and the cry is loud! Outstanding!

Thank you Dah, I have no words to express my gratitude to you.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
