LETTERS AND MURDER (An Original poetry)

the heart is a swordsman
that shoots with precision.
leaving syringe piercings and incision
like deadly vowels and lethal consonants
the essence travels down the vein
like a virus coathed In honey.

painful letters are like knives to the memories
breaking down bridges and building walls.
It cripples the urge to live
like a prisoner of rejection
locked up with reveries of beautiful feelings
smiling faces, but suicidal intentions

when the tongue became a coward
your letters, dotted with red ink.
has left a body sprawling in blood
choosing an early sabbatical to the grave
reading through your monstrous regrets
penned to break my love

your letters are like murder
lipstick on paper, kissing me goodbye
like the fading of the morn.
When the night darkness is come
like the reaper, taking away souls at dusk.
into a sunken place, where I can feel your love no more

POETIC NOTES & ANALYSIS

Written words at times can even be more lethal than when it's spoken, the reason is as a result of the fact that it's unexpected and when unexpected causes more damage.

The poem is about a love story that ended with a written letter, obviously the love story ended because the writer was serving a prison sentence and at the same time getting in touch with his lover with a letter, however it came to an end when he got a letter stating that his lover was no longer interested.

The poem expresses a feeling of pain, obviously the writer's lover has been the reason why he's kept on living, but he expresses how his love was ended by just unspoken words written down to him, he however marvels at how this really became painful, how could a written letter make him feel like ending his life, he ended up giving up to suicide.
