Myriad Tales

Here’s an intense poem about the inner turmoil, by Deeya, for Different Truths.

Curses left me behind
To float like blotches
On skin
Blindfolding me
 
Legends floated on
Soda; it was a wild night
And gruesome 
 
Somebody shouted in the dark
Pitchy like charcoal on a chilly night
Of November
Of swindling face of death
 
I lay awake with
Gospel flint and sawdust
The way to Sulphur flames
Etching fires 
And weeds of agony
