Spikes tear thru my skin
pierce my sides and I hang
dripping blood like rain.
People avert their eyes,
others grab sharpened rebar,
and my pain echoes like thunder.
A person stands near me.
they yell about rights,
but others sneer and mock,
as the laws seethe and grow
to accommodate more spikes,
more needles to eviscerate
my mind, brain, and body
until I am an empty husk,
then and only then,
is their bloodlust sated.

This poem has double meanings, can anyone guess what they are? If you guessed right then you're deep. 🙏

As a new pathway closes a season's chapter, winds of solitude purge an ocean's currents. Melodious ebbs kissing a shoreline, etching sketches in crystal sand, dunes echoing inner peace. And as ocean mists chant a new horizon, Autumn gently breezes tides of faded memories.

The Trauma of Birth

All Rights Reserved © 2023 Kenny A. Chaffin

It lives inside us
just under the surface

Drives us
through our lives

Mothers may forget the pain
but the child cannot

It will be there, always
until we die

@Michaelvaliant

the ravens laughed
as they flew through cracks in every sky
at creatures of the earth
dressed all in black
who ever walked or ran
towards a dark horizon
pretending all that joy
was such an evil son

I returned at last,
not understanding why,
to the place of hard days
lost, altered, angry,
splintered times.
Memories frozen.

This was never home
or a harbour shining
through the mist.

Now I take comfort in
the twilight of shadows.

Be ever watchful
of the spirits
that delve here
be unafraid

they are at
a crossroads
an end
dulling sensations
sensual tentacles
mist on waters
ethereal

singing
thirsty
feeding
greying
fading
whispering
sighing
snaring

their life is vanishing
leaving memories only

@w0dz agree. my first instinct would be to try to "take back" the tag #poetry by boosting people who use that for their own poems & ignoring those who use it for other stuff, but that might be a lost cause ... maybe adding #mypoetry or something is a better idea
