ALTERED

My expulsion from the shackles I craved
gave his twisted desires room to devour
A seed your flower, truths buried within
the roots grip unaided beliefs.

Territorial pissing crossing the deep divide
the depravity of the cavity is where unanswered
Questions lie, the innocence of the cry
burning embers expelling the core.

That part of you I can't ignore
twas gripped and torn, familiar
Pattern sworn to secrecy yet
still I know can't let it go.

Have never faltered has
your opinion of me altered,
Growing into pain I seek for
you revenge the unnamed slain.

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

I think you have a good first draft here, to me it needs punctuation to
indicate the pauses, to deliver to your reader the way you read it, I may
be wrong but I'm thinking that when you read this aloud there are pauses
that are not pointed out here. The way this reads it seems disjointed to me,
the imagery is good but at the end I'm left wondering what it was about.

hi there richard hope you've being keeping well

at least the way i read this one ziggy - am i correct in reading that this describes a great loss???

i just wonder about the last two lines...
'Growing into pain I seek for
you revenge the unnamed slain.'

did you mean that or did you mean either
'Growing into pain I seek for
you revenge (for) the unnamed slain.'

or
'Growing into pain I seek for
you(r) revenge the unnamed slain.'

also just one little typo ' faultered' 'faltered'

awesome write
love judy

I entirely missed this one, and only found it after I saw your comment on one of mine.
Another of my 'duh' moments, lol.
I love this poem. I have read it four times now, and each time I get something different, another layer of meaning. That's one of the halmarks of a good poem, to me, that it does not let you settle on one particular set of meaning and emotion.
Wheels within wheels, as it were.
Outstanding poem, Ziggy, welcome back.

i like that ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,zigs

Full of anger and emotion...it's gritty and aggressive...love it!!

Lol!

The emotion was raw and apparent in every stanza. I like the use of language and flow. Well done.
