Shadow Whisper

[Adriano]

Behind the bleeding veils of coarse
Corrosive cords of linen stiffened
In the breath that freezes stars
And chokes the Moon in solitary
Nights, the blighted cries of voices
Moist with poisoned spells
Of Hell
Are drawn on charcoaled canvas cut
And torn by time
When echoes shadow sparks
In embers stifled under scars
Like drops of thought that thaw in thick
Black holes devouring dry, deserted
Worlds with wanton words of woes
And stares -
Behind the curtains no one cares.

(A poem on domestic violence inspired by Kamille Freske's painting Shadow Whisper)

Thanks Clive,

It looks like we share a lot of similar ideas on Literature.

Kamille's painting is here:

I think she's an astonishing artist.
