Hurricane Glass how you haunt me October ghostly standing between me and reality so dark and beautiful you are cold and wet blanketed folded tightly against my bare skin and gripping it as in chill how deep is this heartache it swims against the current and pulls me in its watery ways liquid emotion clinging thick to air with winds that knee bends trees of leaves paper branches in turn rich fine colors celebrating pain across bark brown sandpaper you drive me like the rain laying between the heavy drops parched within this quenching drink for in your clouds there are no stars in the aching of my skin from inside out night time screams to save me but the roar of silence is so deafening how do I catch my breath in wind when I live between the cracks of shadows doom from one seen as an angel flying upon these wings of glass just some words cut out |

wow. I just read babygirl's poem and now yours...and um, you ladies are making me, um, squirm.  Thank God/dess you are okay!  And I haven't decided if you are talking about water here, or a lamp. (I have a passion for antique oil lamps, so I walked into your poem with that in mind, so I could be way off...) But thank you sweet lady, for sharing the artistry of your ways with us.  |

This poem is beyond anything I have read of yours which is not an easy thing to do since your poems always reflect such beauty and passion. I am awe struck by this work. Tommy |

with winds that knee bends trees of leaves paper branches in turn rich fine colors celebrating pain across bark brown sandpaper you drive me like the rain laying between the heavy drops parched within this quenching drink for in your clouds there are no stars in the aching of my skin from inside out night time screams to save me but the roar of silence is so deafening how do I catch my breath in wind when I live between the cracks of shadows doom from one seen as an angel flying upon these wings of glass ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this just flat out rocks.... amazing expression. another gem from your gifted pen.  |

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Talent and emotion drip from this...I eagerly opened my mouth to consume the feeling of it. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |
