Crescent of the Damned

Storm of Passion
In the beam
      moonlight in hell.

Swimming warmth in turbulent webs
from this incautious grotto;
encircled crags
      revise my dreams.

I stagger in sorrows repudiation
floating through pulsating rubble
as our insightful damned soar
over a swollen crescent
and sickly sweet dishonor
is pleading for living being;
      portal to portal.

This sorrow
in the center of my heart.

    Not at all what I expected in this contest and quite shocking. This is heavy, hard, and verges on cruel. It is meant to. And then there is such remorse hidden within the anger. Such remorse.

    Your stunners are:

    "Swimming warmth in turbulent webs
    from this incautious grotto;"

    and

    "our insightful damned soar
    over a swollen crescent
    and sickly sweet dishonor"

    The emotion conveyed is immeasurable. Very good writing in this piece and strong voice to the prompt. Thank you for this entry. ~Pamela

    Feeling its way along the same lines I just submitted, You seem to breathe darkness inbetween stilled rays. Best to you, Blue

    Wow, this is a switch for you, in tone, at least from your other pieces I have read. Very poignant & subtle. The incautious grotto reminds me of the cave of swimmers in Egypt. Nicely done.

    This is turbulent and disturbing - not a comfortable read for me, but challenging and quite harsh. Very effectively written.
