Distortion

stitch me into pieces
stitch me into sound
colour me in fragrance
as I rot beneath the ground

 

I believe in nothing
I believe in fire
now you all can see me
I’ll be lost in false desire

 

every breath is lightning
every breath I drown
wading into quiet
as our souls are lost and found

 

violets grow like tumors
entwined between my ribs
falsities consume us
where a time before exists

 

desperate are the angels
desperately they sing
a devil made of charcoal
sporting burning flesh for wings

 

evil casts no shadow
evil’s wild and cruel
with symphony, I call them
like the frozen tongues of wolves

    This could be quite possibly my favorite poem ive ever read online. Well done, Ryo.

    • What a compliment! Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

  2. Like the wording and it falls into a cadence if you read it to yourself out loud. Nice piece.

    An interesting poem, very well rhymed. I like it that there is more space between the stanzas, makes the poem easier to read 🙂

    • Thank you! I always liked to play with the spacing of words when it comes to poems. 🙂
