Render I dined on glass words whispers carelessly dropped sharpened syllables jagged and choked them down with pride was this to be the ribbon cutting demise of dreams gone wrong I gasped for heated tear stained air as if to quickly unzip my skin to separate my bones from my heart my enemies laugh at wind in their favor yet, they underestimated me I am the foundation of earth born and bred of its elements a river rages within me and the fire tone of my hair burns brightly and settles in my veins tears mournfully fall from broken clouds and in that dirt you thought ashes lay grows an underground garden of life you have made a mockery of truth and now no cover shall hide you or depths too deep for destruction I have sat silently waiting and watching and find that my abandonment will soon be your own "I'm so hard to handle |

Talk about riveting intense poetry! You are the proverbial ROCK, lady, and I mean that in a totally positive sense! Your words carry great passion and resolve, fortitude and determination.  |

tears mournfully fall from broken clouds and in that dirt you thought ashes lay grows an underground garden of life I'm going to have to start reminding myself to take a breath before I read one of your poems... for I forget to breathe as I read. Bravo!!! *S* |
