This is by our newest member, Bamidele.
He uses excellent word selection on how Christ’s Atonement. Wonderful job, Bamidele.
Healing
Crucifix
In
the abyss of my soul
where
the void stretches
and
the light drowns in somber tars;
your
hands reached down
and
became a ground where my feet could rest.
The
hollows of your palms
where
the nails cleft my sins
are
lights that bleed and
chase
death's silhouette;
your
cross became the anvil
of
my faith and my fears are but burning stubbles.
At
dusk,
when
the sun sets
and
the horizon is half-smiling,
I
eat your words
And
fill my belly with
its
healthy fats
and
I glow like Golgotha
where
your blood spilled
to
set me free.

More Than Poetry: We
take “Pretty Petty Poetry” very, very seriously. Some people think poetry is
very “old fashioned”, boring, and not that interesting. We can understand. To
us, poetry is the true heart of a person. Amanda describes it as: lyrics
without any music.
Pretty Pets: We want your
feedback on “Pretty Petty Poetry”. We want to know on how we can improve on
this business. We’re very open on your comments.
