Poems - Cradel (for butterflyzrfree)

Cradel (for butterflyzrfree)

by Izmeiah

I have caused pain
on an insects thorax
I remove all honey
and supplicate to you
my mouth sewn shut

My throat turned to ruin
for which there is no cure
for you I'd bend heaven
to offer but a drink
to quench your drought

Burn my eyes,
rip my pages,
eat my words.

I can offer you
only apologies,
platitudes,
and bags of dust

Another solid poem. well crafted. You have the edge and the sureness of youth and it comes out in your style. Great imagery again in this poem "and supplicate to you my mouth sewn shut". Loved the last four lines and may steal them the next time I want to apologize to someone sarcastically
