Confusion infects my breath of wind,
turning my beaten head in a spin.
The urge burns through like liquid fire,
Undulating, completely drowned in my desire.

Your stare
penetrating
Your smile
captivating
Me sighing
patiently waiting
Yes, that's my heart
quietly aching

Your touch
unknown
Your offer
condoned
Be gentle
I'm easily thrown
The light surrounds you
always a different tone

But today
just a bit...
I feel sad
just a bit...
...I'm sorry...

I'm always looking your way.
Like a reflex,
my heart turns my eyes in your direction.
I want to be mysterious.
Dark and soulful.
Something new and unexplainable.
But my heart is made of glass.
You can see right through me.
You always look right through me...
You stutter my rhythm,
ruin my rhyme.
You could never know the pain I create,
could never appreciate the mercy I see.
I could love you better than this.
Better than a few lonely words,
scribbled down in a fit of sadness.

But tomorrow
more than just a bit...
I feel sad
Didn't you know it?
Sorry...yeah, I'm sorry




Much love all,
Krissie

Kethry & taramw~ "It's like cut and glue- me to you." Sometimes all the thoughts don't rhyme, they kinda just come out in pieces. Thanks for the kind words.

Much love all,
Krissie

WOW!!!!!!  This one really caught me.  You said so many things I have felt and experienced myself, in such a unique and expressive way.  Full of imagery.....I loved it!  Thanks for the awesome read!

A beautiful emotional collage of thoughts, feelings and desires.  It doesn't have to rhyme you know.  
It all came together beautifully

I usually have a hard time keeping a rhyme going. My thoughts just break up in so many different directions. Thanks for replying.

Much love all,

Krissie, this is wonderful, expressive, flows well, and once again, someone has been watching my life go by! Isn't it interesting how so many of us  have the same feelings, the same uncertainties, and the same pain?
Though we all state it slightly differently.
Take care.

Thanks for the kind words. I find it so much easier to identify with another's pain, than their joy. I guess that's something special, to be reserved as individual for each...


Much love all,
Krissie
