Starvation overtakes me
On this dead end road.
You don't do charity work,
I know.
I die here in my hunger
For love you cannot show.
And death creeps ever slowly.

Moisture from my throat.
Suckling the nipple of darkness,

Decay gnaws at my heart,
Rot seeps inside my soul.
No longer alive inside me,
You go.
I cry, unleashing thunder.
Passion's final storm rolls
And death bequeaths eternal
Coitus you withhold.

Without my permission, they carved a small section
Saying it was out of need.
She looked so frail this strong woman,

by Sid de Knees
A sonnet from the frontline.
When silence falls across this line,
I try to write a thought or two,
conveying heart felt, love
