Masked Metaphor (acrostic)

by Masked metaphor   Oct 27, 2014


Mysteriously hidden in the dark
Alley ways of a persons lost and forgotten
Soul. Seeking a map of guidance, a
Key to understanding life's
Endless chaos and imprinted sorrows.
Depression, destruction and deterioration

Melts within the human gene as
Emotions no longer reflect the world we now live in.
Trapped in a surrounding that no longer brings peace
A prisoner, a free man, an executioner, a thief...
Purpose behind actions and judged titles no longer carry meaning.
Horror seeps inside our veins as terrorism
Orders us all to the fate of dying slaves.
Recycling murders on a pathway to utter darkness in early graves.

    Great stanza, I love the words you used here. Such deep and decisiveness. It's like a opening into your soul, the title first of all shows me anyways your are writing about the person behind the poet. And this stanza opens up the flood gates of your battered soul, the pain and suffering you have been through is deep seeded and vividly expressed by the vocabulary which you used.

    A twist here, like almost as if you are showing the reader what you see within the world. What you witness by society and the actions of what is going on around this globe at the moment. The way you penned it and turned it into something that takes a look at the societies of the world and how we are told to feel, think, and live is utterly strong. I admire the way you show such emotion in your words and your poems, it's something that is hard for me at times but you always know how to bring your emotions to the surface and your feelings into the reader.

    Lovely job.. And perhaps I am wrong on what you were writing here but I took it like first stanza you are explaining and showing us who you are, what you have been through and the second stanza is how you see this ever changing world.

    5/5
