minds twisting underwater
in the cold
the snow and water gathers
ice that lingers
against the lips
against the skin
a skull cracked open
Thank you for reading my work! I hope you will return in the future!

paper and blood
the ink settles
in the grain
scissors cut out
new patterns
to fill with
blood, ink
and words.
Thank you for reading my work! I hope you will return in the future!

decay.
singed flesh
opened and bleeding
the rot begins
to intertwine with
limbs,
alone
in the empty dungeon
of wars and famine
can you hear the spirits
crying still as they decay
into the past,
into
memories?
Thank you for reading my work! I hope you will return in the future!

Minds flayed and slashed
against the pavement
the hot boiling sun looming
down upon them
cooking them in the heat.
There are memories and
thoughts now dried
up and smudged
staining the ground.
Thank you for reading my work! I hope you will return in the future!

p.s. I have changed the titles of my “Free Hand” poems to just “Poem” this is just something I decided to do. I think it is more straightforward and makes more sense than just “Free Hand” even though all the poems in the format are technically free hand poems.
The sun throbs
a warm pulse
that is blocked
by the grey fog
dense and cold
enveloping the
city. A radiant
orb, in the
distance
looking
like
some
one
I
used
to
know.
Thank you for reading my work! I hope you will return in the future!
