Drift you, past my bloodied words,
and rhymes that tantalize with curse...
the times of hallmark's obscene verse--
I have no business here.

For every teardrop in inkwell
I scrape for blood and there indwell
and stamp upon ye marked hell...
and leave a droplet's dripping drear.

Every syllable, a breath...
and rest, between - be but a test--
all the best? I've not seen yet.
and sorrow is a chest of heave...

To you, I cleave, untasted bless -
the salt that feeds my own eye's tear.
A hungered breast--my camel's quench,
within...without...too far...too near.

personally ... I love the curse of your rhyme ...
its a lovely spell ...
makes me want to read more and more of you
incantate away me gifted poetess twin ...
hugs baby,love you Sen


We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel

Wow Serenity ... a gripping and emotional read. I loved the meter and rhyme scheme within ... and that last line ... excellent conclusion to your thoughts, very well written!

Best wishes,
/Kit

I have to agree with Doreen here! Damn, you're good! This is wonderful, and fierce and fluid and angry.
All things I understand well.

Dear Serenity I wish the dictionary gave simple guidlines on the keyboards - gap, strange follow on symbols & etc etc ..... Your effort to bring these into poetic use maybe a start of acceptance. I admit I preferr them to lazy abuse, though lean to solid words.
