Neglect of a Twisted Wrath

Brutal is the play today
a game to those of fury.
With centers lost at others costs.
Now self denied and buried.

I had my chance to make a stance
But turned a blinded cheek.
I could have mattered but silenced the chatter,
Which served to make me weak.

Again today another lays
stiff a top the ground.
I closed my eyes when I heard cries.
Now not another sound.

I breathe alone in twisted zones
and still I wonder why.
I did not do a thing for you,
before it went awry.

I saw the blade but was afraid
he’d breach my hallowed cove.
Come back for me then I would be
laid now beneath the grove.

Brutal is the play today.
Its darkness swallows whole.
Our backs are turned, will we soon learn
We too can lose our . . .

Soul.

Personally, I love rhyme and use it frequently, but it's not for everyone. Not everyone can or wants to take the time to make it make sense and not sound childish. That's okay, I don't always write in rhyme and can appreciate most forms of prose and poetry. Wow! It's been so long that I didn't remember you as a member of the site, I had to go back and read the other two poems that you published here and read the reviews I left. Welcome back. ~ Geezer.
