Plucked and Plundered by Shy LeighI've known Pain like a butterfly
plucked and plundered
of its wings
crawling
on the ground
writhing
in agony
as the angels once were
and still are
...unredeemed. 11/11/2003 Posted on 11/12/2003 Copyright © 2025 Shy Leigh

Posted by Max Bouillet on 11/12/03 at 07:23 PM Anguish filled imagery that associates physical pain with spiritual agony. Unique and fresh imagery that presents an alternate perspective on life. Great read. |
