Poetry: Dismissed
You can now
never expunge me
banish me from
your view
delete me from
your life I
am the sentience
past and present
your decay
your debris.
I am blue skies
above you
frozen ground
below you
I possess you
own you
you are
inconsequential
irrelevant
negligible.
No, you can’t
expunge me
I refute you
I banish you
I delete you
your presence
is hereby
eliminated.
You were nothing
to me mere
dust blowing in
the wind
a frozen planet
I tossed around
for my amusement
I am the Alpha
and the Omega
baby.
You will never
eliminate me
the poison of
my presence
has stained
your heart
love can never
again satiate
your needs
your desires
your longings.
I gorge on stars
eviscerate worlds
from my view
drain oceans
level mountains
you are puny
and that is
immutable
that is
irrefutable
so undeniable.
Gaze long
with dread into
the abyss that
is your pathetic
life
wail and cry
choke on the
reality that you
can never erase
me
ever retrace me
never replace me.
My dear,
it is you who
is expunged
now blow away
you are nothing
your presence is
no longer required
you are
dismissed.
This is brutal and brilliant. Ouch I almost feel sorry for her.
I was being kind
i take it it didnt end on a positive note then.
Why, what would have given you that idea?!
My close reading of the works of Jonathon Swift
How do you mean this reference?
This poem reminded me of Swift’s poem Stella. Swift was surrealist in malice.
Thanks for that. I’m going to check it out
Thank you for reading. I only asked because I wanted to make sure your malicious tendencies were fully satiated my brother
My cup overfloweth.
Lmfao😂😂
Raw and full of emotion, love the repetition throughout this – wonderfully done.
Thank you, another that I really loved creating
I love how many levels this works at. I’ve read it twice. It could be a relationship with a person, it could be addiction, it could be any personal demon. This is deeply powerful, visceral, and moving. Loved it!
Thank you so much, one of two people who actually figured it out! I can die happy, this is come of my favorite pieces. So cool you got it, you’ve no idea.
It absolutely should be. It’s incredible. You have me lying in bed turning it over to see what it knocks loose in my grey matter! ☺
You are very kind especially when I learn any time that a woman is in her bed contemplating one of my world lol. And it is more addiction/demon theme than woman, but then that’s a conversation off-blog, because that came into play as well, oddly
I completely giggled at this. I meant to respond, but I passed out. Not to imply that your poetry knocked me out, life in general knocked me out. This got me going though – two poems thanks to my bed time musings! ow ow ow!
Hmmm, interesting
Powerful, honest, stabbing poetry Rob. I hope you feel better after letting that one out. Well done my friend
Haha! Sometimes a man’s gotta vent
True!
Wow. Powerful and biting words…I hope you never get that mad at me… 😩
Lol. It’s not about a personbbits about the demon on me if you must know heh heh
Duking it out with God, at least how I hear it. Those are hard and profoundly lonely times. I wish you well, my friend.
You are right about that. Not even about a real person. It’s a metaphor that’s been misread lol
Oh, if you are referring to who I think you are referring to, you should probably ask her what she had to say about you before you go and act all Prince Valiant and shit, lol.
You don’t know me. You don’t know what I am writing about. You have no clue or concept as to the ignorance of your visit. I don’t know who you think you are or what you think you know. You have no clue what you are talking about “Shaun.” So get off creeping my blog dude. Weirdo
I read that over again. That is so Omg.
Was it too much? I was holding back.
No, better get it out .
lol, I’ve got much more in there.
It’s like a cleansing
Not good keeping it bottled up
I find myself grateful that I am not the woman who inspired this! Powerful, bitter, biting words.
And I was being kind…
