I posted this poem once before but this is how it feels to have someone you love stalked and senselessly murdered. Rest in peace Kimberley Ann Duncan (1968-1994) and now Jitka Vesel (1974-2011).

 Sharpened Edge of Lust

The glaze of pain

As you choke on

The barbed wire

Feelings you do

Your best to swallow

Slices into

The innermost

Aorta of the   

Essential you

And tattered shreds of

Your heart waving

In defeat are

All that is left

To see through the

Bloodied window of

His sightless gaze
