[Untitled poem I wrote a while ago]

These superfluous feelings
And every little drop of pain
Fire, sear
I feel its permeating warmth
From the heart of the sky to mine
I feel it as it flowed into a river
Its crimson course so fine
Overflowing to the mouth in December

It doesn't hold back
No need for love no need for hope
It cuts through and through
Deeply carved on every slippery slope

Reducing, reshaping
All redundant replaced with resplendent
Erasing every sediment every sentiment
Like light cutting through dark
I will be the blade never missing the mark

Glad you feel you can share it here. The way it ended wrapped it up really good!
A very beautifully written dark and reflective poem. The rhythm is very nice too.
I always had second thoughts uploading my poetry anywhere because either I felt it was lacking or that it would not be liked by others, because nowadays people prefer something like an image with aesthetics or whatever trendy. But sometimes I have to write, inspired by my visions, without having to overdo myself each time. Just... to write truly. and I do have the desire to share it with others...
