these god-hands are barbwire's,
snagging & scarring everything
they touch.
ii.
black tongue bleeding sweet ichor
along the guarded walls
of skeletal frames.

'i want to taste heaven.
it rests there,
just beneath your bones.'
iv.
he is a god dog
made of scythes & scalpels,
sewn together with weak thread.
v.
and she is a borrowed tree.
lips that beg, & limbs that snare
will carry him to his grave.
vi.
'shh, my sweet-
close your eyes, &
i'll sacrifice you to the heavens.'

It Came From The Dark
It Came From The Dark:
Amongst the ashes, swirling from the darkness of the pit,
Emerged a hand, dragging a battered body across the rocks.
Blood leaked from the wounds so callously self-inflicted,
And teeth ground with a focused determination and seething anger.
It cared not for the warm rubies - staining the jagged rocks,
It cared not for the sensation of pain...
All that it remembered was a dream, An obsession -
One that drove it ever higher; ignoring all else!
Eventually it emerged from this shadowy hole, this dreary depth,
And in that moment, it learned of the truth.
For this creature, denied sunlight and warmth -
was me...

Society Is Ugly.
Society is ugly.
Not you.
Beauty is defined by
How you act.
Not by the number on the
Scale.
Starving doesn't work.
Purging doesn't work.
Pills don't work.
The girl you see
In the mirror is
Perfect
Just the way she is
Now.
Don't get upset because
You don't match up
To the media's
Expectations.
Cutting won't work.
Crying won't work.
Dying won't work.
Remember this:
Society is ugly.
Not you.

Two Years Later
She asked him gently, “Do you love me?”
In his long silence, she found closure,
And left her love under a willow tree.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactAmazing! This is a gorgeous poem. The flow is beautiful. The consistency in the stanzas also keeps this balance. It's slightly confusing as to a meaning, but not confusing as in when you read it you feel disjointed. It's beautiful and makes you contemplate what the piece is trying to say. The meaning isn't exactly clear, but it gives off a deeper feel then told. I like the repetition of god throughout the piece and the dark imagery that is ironic to that. The title also has a great impact. I gave originality a lower mark because I feel some of the words you used and ideas are used through out a lot of writing, but other than that, I really enjoyed this piece.
Great job!
