The first he

When the first he of them
spoke to me, he wrote sky sighs in
sign language to this child woman
that would become me, later, but then

it was when belief was a facetious
wooden nickel
and my pockets were full, though

splendor surrounded me
as criticism ruled my world,
when voices would not let go,
yanking at my ankles with nips,
tripping my way
and dark strangers seemed
favorably kinder
in all ways.

When he ambled towards them
in leather jacket slouch hiding promise,
those brooding coffee eyes
and I don’t care appearance
drew me in, but the voices
would not let me reach out,
refusal their spine to my damnation
of their existence.

His leather never wore
my fingerprint
but I find me still wishing
it had.

What an entrance

What a wonderful first post.

"and dark strangers seemed
favorably kinder

often times, it is the stranger who knows how to touch us the most with kindness.  Very well done.  Welcome to Passions.

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

Sometimes those "voices" know what they are talking about! I listen to mine ~ and I'm only half crazy!
