her fingers
tired of composing
the too many paper teardrops
needed to cleanse the ache that
had sprung from far deeper
than she really cared to know
and she felt over exposed
and slightly chilled
at the abandoning
of so many
emotions,
so many
tears
and so she slipped back into her jacket
stuck her hands deep into the pockets
and as she walked away thought
she should have known better
her hands always hurt
when they
get cold

"and so she slipped back into her jacket"

that line gave me chills
a great piece of work here, corazon... and... i love it centered... makes the structure of it work so well with the lyric and cutting tone

enjoyed much! glad you came and posted this. your work is so intriguing and special

whoops, forgot to vote.. came back to vote... see? i'm not the only one who forgets that little box

WOW, very nice indeed!  

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died,
and I though alive, feel dead inside.

very cool poem Corazon...
love the presentaion and style...
most of the emotions...
yes...some days we could write till
our fingers bleed.
take care, jm

baby dont you work so hard
for this prize you've found,
it will all be gone-when you turn around,
cause nothing lasts forever anyway.

A really enjoyable, although sad, poem. I thought the presentation was excellent too.

Thanks,
Pete
