#Emoetry prompt for 10/4 is #tormented
first you #lure me in
with your glittering #rank
then you #smite me -
you’ve #sabotaged
everything I’ve built.
we’re not talking
about #pin money
Sabotaged
i saw Desiderata
and remembered how i used to think
wow, that's wise
but it was my friend's favorite
and he died
through self-destruction
so now i see only
the limits of written wisdom
and despair of poems
"You have to wait
for opportunities.
"You should apply
for shits and giggles.
"That's just life
deal with all the problems.
"I'm pretty open
but I have something in mind..."
He can't stand
not being in control
#sabotages every
opportunity.
Crossed Lines
My devil
sabotages love
with childish
anger,
gets too drunk
at
corporate
functions,
makes public
displays of
possession,
jealousy
then abandons
his object
for another
as if to fulfill
his own prophecy;
My devil
My endless
Hell
A trail of sabotage
left behind
words left like drips of poison
running down my face
bridges burned to the ground
roads with traps and trip wire
aimed to hurt
lies and deception
cast along the way
Dreadful at fishing—
I did not see the #allure.
Neither did the fish.

Sabotaged by hope
Promises of progress lured
An auspicious fool
