Devil whispers,
Angel cries…
No one will ever
know the hows and the whys.
Castle burning,
a kingdom sacrificed.
Fallen queen
paying the hard price…
Fingers cut short,
unfit for a ring.
Heart torn out
to keep it from loving
again, never again!
You can call me Extreme
I am what I am…
Bow before the Queen of Spleen!
Inspired by Kira’s artwork, Devil whispers
Powerful and dynamic interpretation of a fascinatingly gory artwork … I do love the air of strength and defiance in your poetry.

Thank you Eleanor 🙂 I don’t know if you already knew Kira, but I very much recommend checking out her work! Both her artwork and her poetry/stories are totally worth a visit… My favorite fiction, I think, is
Kira has a world of her own, and I love it 🙂
