She sits
a dream
  f
   a
    l l
        en
from good-bye

A star, collapsed
lightless
lay curled in a corner
knees hugged

pulsar light
echoing a quiet
death unseen

In silent nothing-space
comes a spark

(flick, flick)

of thought
struggling 'gainst
the oily, smothering
choke that is
apathy

She mourns

Passing

With the hem
of a solar flare
caught in the clogs
of time
frozen

She cries
pulling to set herself
free...

"Release me!"

"...release me, please
so I may live again..."

I like......I like

if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming.

Ms Nic... you dood it again. Broke my jaw with a sudden poetic uppercut. Hard-hitting;soft. Smooth;rough. Powerful;powerful. Did me in lady, grabbed my throat and my heart... and squeezed.

Squeezed my throat realy hard here!

Wow ma'am... well done? Trite, I know, but hey, it's obvious that you're the poet here!

See girl?  I ain't the only who thinks you are a poet.  You just keep outdoing yourself, and for that I am most proud of you.

You have a good one, and keep em coming.
