Black divinity.

Talk to me,
Don’t be scared of your fears,
Don’t be silenced by the
Black stones of the beach.
Talk to me,
Strain yourself and give pain,
Don’t glare with both eyes at the
Blood-clotted cloth.

The needle is sharp at both ends, -
And bleeds…


Listen to me,
Don’t be mute by shock of the
Charcoal clouds –
Don’t be a splinter.
Listen to me,
Don’t be ashamed of the shadow-shed,
Don’t be hunted by the
Youngest fang.

The needle is sharp at both ends, -
And bleeds…


Follow me,
Don’t step back from your fires,
Don’t be beaten by the
Mighty of both hands.
Follow me,
Squint or hiss with deity.
Don’t raise both brows at the
End of love.

Daybreaker
BLACK DIVINITY is an outrageous titel! =)

For me this poem represents the darkness in us all, and how afraid we are to meet up with it. Afraid of sorrow and death. But we needn't be!

Great.

Black divinity?!?! It's just poem or...
If to think widely - your poem about freedom of a choice, I guess.
"The needle is sharp at both ends", - huh?

Listen to me ,
Talk to me,
Hiss to me,
O deity of love,
Only don't turn around,
And leave!
Look at me!!
Face me!!!
