I spread myself raw
before the scrutiny
of your eyes
My insides clench-
yet still I pry
wider for answers
further in tears
staining my wisdom
with your casual fears...
Timeless, these moments-
I've gutted my grace
treading soft eggshells
'neath weary foot space.
I am withered sponge
with the distaste for two
still I rip within reason
to justify dues...

The minute silence
spreads on deaf ear-
I lash out in rage
for I am.
I am HERE.
Starving on teardrops
I've hand-fed to you,
Shrinking on violets
of a purloined view...
never my own,
I blend easily
with palest of skin-
Just lick on the crease
Fold me up harshly
like canvas in ruin,
I'll give no resistance
my thoughts are but won.
Seal me with haste
and address me: Appease
Never fail to remind me
that white paper can't bleed...



Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Too too cool deTanya!

You rock!

Excellent indeed Devina

HelloSweetie~
You STILL have that honest edge to your imagery that knocks me out with your mastery of thoughts shared~

I am SO glad to see you ... and how is that little one ?
My love to you all~

this is the perfect example of why I look for your name every day and hope to see it appear on these pages of blue..

I hope you never, ever stop writing..
ever....

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Excuse me, but I think you've contradicted your final premise...this white paper definitely bled your heart.

A powerful write, some fantastic lines, I wish I could see them easily from here. One set has already been mentioned in an early response. The words are so extremely original that I can not begin to state them here, only continue to feel the feeling they stirred in me.

I don't think I've read any of yours before. That is one drawback to so many poets in one place...so easy to miss something wondrously special. Glad I didn't miss this, Devina.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

My love and thanks to you all... I am humbled to have been gone so long and still have such endearing replies to my venting!

*evil grins to that!

Smooches all around...and a few extras for my purdy sis K!

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...
