GAUNTLET ON THE CONSCIENCE (An Original Poetry)
IMAGE SOURCE; Glass Drip Rain | · Free image
Let's steer the sunset
like a horse on revenge sojourn
an excursion to silky places
where backwards is the winning races
we're riding on a bandwidth
where mercy is fiction
slizzing throats amidst clenched faces
we are like dancing spears in the air
travelling to decimate
with regret taking a detour
out of the clumsiness called heart
The apocalypse within,
is a cold blooded whore
that loves the sound of clanging blades
besting already bested men
the hunger to see sizzling blood
is like the warmness
of flurry fur in winter
undaunted by the carcasses
spreading across our conscience
like a tainted hue on stainless water
We're covered in goo,
across the water to meet our waterloo
induce into desynchronosis
by constant swinging of arms
jaded and jejuned and bereft
left to rot away in uncertainty
servants and slaves we remain
to the enchanting belle of violence
We have gauntlets on our conscience
stainless steel,
tarpaulining our stained humanity
the road to gallilee
is but moss and mire
written on our temple is transgressions
a road taken but a path and no return
we must live smirking in death
baring our naked adventures
to the all seeing eyes of the sun

It's good, but I still say that your work inspired by the ladies bring out the best in you haha!
Hahahaha really now? Well I still feel it's because wrote the ladies inspired ones out of experience you know what I mean? I still need improvements then hahahaha
You know me, I'm all about dem emotions. So maybe the inspiration from real-life experiences prove the difference?
Another awesome piece man, keep winning
Thank you so much
