Never close enough

Spiraling down
into the unknown

        a void shown,

one that I wear
proudly, yet
there is shame

housed here

        nameless

I can't tell you
where, or whom
yet know that-
I've no need
to lie about
such things

Broken grasp
fell from grace

        clipped wings

of innocence

Was I ever?
Ever that pure?

what does white
taste like, and how-
how does it smell?

I'm ivory

      ivory bone

thrown together
molded to meet
what version
I see of myself

Lumps of clay

      we all started
      that way -

if I were a rose
I would only be
a single petal

the one that fell
from the bosom
of the bud on the vine

I lay on the ground

I wither
I die

I sink back into
the black dirt
of earth

and root myself-

to try my hand
at living again

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Ivory is pure white with some warmth added to it!

~ and I do believe ye be the whole rose!

You are a very fine poetess, Dear Tima.

~ May your petals continue to rise up from Mother Earth whenever they fall.

Love & Light,
Linda
