Wickedly captivating,
your smile, dances
in and out of focus
blinking redundantly
within the waves,
resonating rainbeats
perptually sink now
within synchonic outlines,

a final resting place,

temporary salvation,

the heart is striken;
cradled, then punished

the appartion begins
final fadeout as you stretch
along the drowning miles,

was it purely imagination
that you ever touched down at all?

pounding the puddles
bullets fall upon an
already grieving heart,

the sky
is waterlogged,drowning
in its own deluge,

a slapping sting,
your silence stains
these tearfilled walls,

shaking with storms
withering in foam
ever moving, but trapped,

you live within,

the waves crown the sea;

midnight is draped
in the beauty of madness,

there is no place
to take this pain tonight.

Oh God, you know Michele, the last stanza is beyond amazing, wish I had written it, wish I could take it from you --> that pain and yes, it was real.



knowing that stab . . .

A wonderfully empty write...
sometimes it seems this way...

I look forward to the time
when you are full again,
and write of that.

You have taken the pain on to these pages of blue and you did it in powerful poetic expressions.

Love and hugs. Margherita

Powerful, poignant, fierce, yes, that's it the fierceness of the abyss, falling from that cliff, who will catch and hold you...

take these words
as stumbling as they may be;
may they embrace you--
as the dark night lingers  
before the morning birds sing.

Michelle, I'm glad that this came back up.
This is very well written. I could feel the
pain in it.
Hugs,
Ethel

Oh, Michele, I can put myself in this scene with complete understanding.  You said something I have felt a time or two myself so very perfectly.  This is like hearing music that makes you cry because it touches a part of you in its sad beauty.   .....jo

there is always a place
with warm windows
and a lover's eyes
reflecting back

and hell is warmer now
