This empty skin I swim within-
turns shyness into stain...
full moon sighs bleed compromise,
~clenching for the tame~

Gentle skinning of my sinnin'
brings me plenty soil in palm,
Freed from rising (rock defying)
sing me ~sweet~ into your song...

With heavy bliss in opened fist-
I strike the eager dawn...
Singe-ing praise in warmest blaze,
Drip me softly inside wind-balm...

Cringe not, within this Camelot-
Just feed me to the sun-
To taste the pun of failured grace
My journey has begun...

I blend. I bleed. I starve to feed.
on you. just you. for once.

Man you get so deep into your work. I wish I could just let go like that. Pure emotion put into words. You have real talent.

I'm new on this forum but here goes. This is a very dramatic poem very well written. Gave me a shiver at times. Maggie

Your writing has grown much since I last read you Devina.  This was impressive, indeed.  Especially loved the ending.


Hope all is well with you.

I read this twice, then three, four X's. I like your lines a real lot.
