"Nature Weeps for it's Wicked"

An infant’s dream possessed by darkness.
Taste its newborn scars.
Lost, with a future gone before birth.
Clandestine memories shattered
in the blink of blinding eyes.

Savage welts blister, upon the foul angels skin.
Broken wings celebrate the dark insurrection
into a glorious destruction.
Dissolved visions plan a vengeance
unbeknown to the victim.

A silver moon sits atop the world
as tadpoles race to their doom.
Creeping fantasies buried
under the secret corners
of her virginal mind’s eye.

Glamorous women dance the metal pole
as selfish creatures bleed sweat
from instincts long ago forgotten.
The bull god appears from mystic mountains
amidst nature’s reservations.

Insects crawl deeper into the subconscious
of melted mushrooms.
Plants of all species dance to unheard melodies.
A demon’s kiss suffers the abuse
of years of whispered yet unspoken tales.

The leaves tremble while hornets lay their eggs
between rusted emotion
of endless fathomless indiscretion.
Sorrowed children alone in the desert
drinking sand from webbed-claws grasping for infamy.
Nature weeps for it’s wicked,
we are all truly alone.

About This Poem

Last Few Words: I was experimenting with this, there is a deeper meaning under the imagery.I also was trying to be more subtle with my writing, I feel that I normally write with a sledge hammer to the readers head get my point across.If you as a reader give up with what this is actually about just message me and I will say, just so you can keep it to yourself, lol.

Style/Type: Free verse

Review Request Intensity: I appreciate moderate constructive criticism

Editing Stage: Editing - rough draft

Favorite Poets: I have many favorite poets but I like Poe the most.I would also feel wrong if I didn't include music to this also, for I find it to be of great inspiration.These are lyrics to a song by Monster Magnet called Ozium, it never fails to put me in the writing mood and thought I would share it, lol., " I'm up to my brain in the mire of an ancient swamp, Pteranadon smiles at me and flies up to god, Baby let me drink deep from your globes of reality, Writhe your naked ass to the mindless groove, baby give your tongue a taste and follow me up to my room, the bullgod has your head, and baby thats just fine, now it is time, we became the mighty cell, wrap those hungry jacks? to the mindless groove, they say we've got a lifetime, but we know that ain't true, I will not be denied, I will not be denied, baby, the faster you gyrate the faster we'll be there, arms up overhead, a goddess in the ancient song, work that mighty world to the mindless groove, they say weve got a life time but we know that ain't true, I will not be denied, I will not be denied, they say weve got a lifetime, but we know that ain't true, I will not be denied I will not be denied"

Experiments?

Was this an experiment in abstraction, because there
are maybe two teeth sinking images in this, the rest are
abstract (at least that's what I saw) ... but let others see
what they think, I'm only one man and I'm no expert ...

Sort of

I was playing with abstract imagery in this, it was intended to be that way.I like the thought of the different ideas and opinions about what I am writing about.It is actually about something and is relevant, but I like to see what others get out of it, if anything at all.I also enjoy using my imagination and like flexing it sometimes.I'm not sure if you liked it, but I hope at the very least it made you think.Thanks for commenting.

Abstractions ...

I used to write in all abstractions, I thought the more abstract
it was the more flavorful it was ... but really it's not. When you
float too far away from reality, it becomes fantasy ... and if that
is what you are shooting for, it is fine, but if you want to give your
poetry a reality check, it's best to not stray too far into the abstract
world. Recently Anna posted a great blog, I'm going to share the
link here, read it when you've the time to grasp it's layers.

Dear KZ,

The leaves tremble while hornets lay their eggs between rusted emotion and fathomless indiscretion.Angry children alone in the desert drinking sand from webbed claws grasping for infamy.Nature weeps for its wicked, we are all truly alone.

Very abstract and I love it! Kind of like an acid trip! I really like Rosi's suggestions, too.

always, Cat

I read this in the original, and

in stanzas, and it has far more impact in the latter.
What I get out of this is difficult to convey. I feel the savagery of nature, the ammorality of unfettered instinct, and the weight of realization that it all goes on in spite of anything we might do to change it.
I might also say that I find more levels of meaning and evocative imagery with each read.
The only criticism I have is that the piece seems a little generalized, to me, as if it needs more direction, more focus on a particular line of thought, particularly leading up to the last two lines, which have very good impact.

I enjoy this very much, and have not finished taking it in.

Thank you

I agree with you, I like it in stanzas too.It is a bit generalized but this is done on purpose to make the reader think, it does follow a certain order and makes complete sense once figured out.I'm very happy that you have enjoyed this and are still taking it in.
