Lonely Compassion



"Lonely Compassion"


Agony strangling infant's breath
Sharpening knives on naked flesh
Get lost in the mushroom in bloom
Kiss traces of a melancholy moon

Fear has begun building it's scars
But paint your dreams in the stars
Search beneath decaying remains
Shadows always flowing their veins

Oh mirror, mirror hide the reflection
Scar tissue hid under imperfection
Tourniquets of hate, choke passion
Sculpted stone, lonely compassion

Pounding drums embracing rage
Refuse the turning of another page
Promises in gold, silence violence
Dealers of death, the killer of giants

The Punk Poe

Chelley Rice aka Michelle Rice- LaPine, The self-proclaimed "Punk Poet" also known as the "Dark Queen", has captured the audience of many with twisted tales woven in the form of poetry.

She's the proud mother of three grown children & grandmother to three as well. She's hard working, dedicated to her craft & unequivocally has many variations in her poetry. Her first book of poetry: "Prisoner of Poetry" is in production now in hopes to be released by early fall. more…
