Consumed

Heavy weighted chains
Past indescretions
Hover over me
Like a vulture,ready,
Always ready
To glide down
On heavy wings-
To consume me.
Like the eagle that
Tears out the liver
Of Prometheus
I am not as cursed as he-
The pieces of my soul
That predator carries away
Stay gone

Awesome!!! You have some great talent!!

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
