Kick me
into dust grey

wrap me in sky
beautiful black

paint the background
crystal clear

so as not to distract
from my decline

fill the flood deeper
abstract water winds restless
as my mind

lips wet for quenching
the reason i laugh
is my lack

hope is delicate as nib
once broken
two lines of terrible
fate erode papers cliff

i am fallen now
no hand signal enough
to stop all that passes by.

when we fall.. or are fallen... is when a friend comes along and offer a hand..
look around... you are surrounded by people here with there hands extended...

you write some great lines here..and paint the feeling all too well..too real....
very well done.

Gemma, I'm offering a hand and an ear. If you need some help, drop me an email and I can listen.

Wonderful. You truly have an amazing way with words. I don`t know much about poetry I guess but I do know that that was amazing.
