cut

0 observations

it's easier to believe the lies
the cynicism that leaves scars
deeper than any pointed blade
you drew across your skin to cut
the venom with your own vice,
slicing only flesh to preserve
the tattered soul beaten down
by those who believe control
is a virtue. but it isn't.

    Explaining the Tags

    You will note, gentle reader, that all works under this blog now display "tags" to help classify and assign the works for your review and enjoyment.

    These largely fall into 4 categories:

    Year of writing, e.g. "1999"
    Book published in, e.g. "from an unexpected quarter"
    Inspiring muse, e.g. "Aubergine"
    Genre, e.g. "erotica"

    We are still in the process of cleaning up the tags, so please bear with us. Yes, some muses are classified under more than one tag, some poems appear in more than one book, or not yet in any volume, and some years are...hazy.
