Rejection, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

Frigid under my inadequate sheet
I, a sad sight
Ruinous dreams in dark of night

Fleeting in the pitch black sky
Pin prick dots twinkle white
Speeds through the calendar

From the chalky suspended satellite
My significant other’s two orbs
Petrify me like the Pharaoh’s heart

Medusa’s serpents were not so
Though my other did not know
This thistle minimal, still hurt them so

Unexpected was was the flame
Raging temperature rising again
As translucent as an all powerful deity

Wanting to assert their authority
Escape to where? I had no cover
Scorching summer or Siberian winter

At dawn’s due, a cycle strewn
Destine for endless repetition
Snuffing out the sparkle of the twilight

A gilded cage in the coalmine
Sings no songs gives no warnings
Listless canary will see no midday flight

I know that stare,
That arbiter
Of ominous obsession

It is a break
To be made clean and quick
And to never look back.
(end)

Another ode poem, inspired by Sylvia Plath’s poem “To A Jilted Lover”.

I am talking poetic license for my meaning to be slightly different.

I believe her poem is talking about wanting her lover to see the pain she is in for being left.

My poem is about physical abuse in that you should never put up with it.
