Subliminal shards of humanity, border-line insanity- Tell me how does thou flower grow? Sentimental caresses, meant purely for distress- Show me how to hide my soul… Seasonal awakening, by truths bitter sting- Love me with sheltered heart, Sing your praises, above God’s loving grace’s- Then grin as your form departs… Generously squeeze, life’s hurried disease- Reluctantly from my own lips- Seethe in your sorrow, into lonely tomorrow- As you want nothing more than my kiss… Succumb to your lies, in yourself ye despise- For you tread the path that you lay, Filter love’s sting, tis what your heart brings- Do not falter upon Fate’s dismay… Return to your solitaire, only beware- You shall bleed this heart no more, Live upon bliss, of lust and kiss- As loneliness seeps to the core… Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

WOW! I wish I could use the type of wording you do here as effectively. Enjoyed it. Thanks for the wonderful reading. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Another excellent piece from you, Devina, as I am growing to expect... Regards, Sudhir In any moment of decision, The best thing you can do is the right thing, The next-best thing is the wrong thing, And the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt |

Lovely and with a bit of ever-so-gentle sting...true words, 'sis', and I shall keep them in mind---think I too am guilty of this crime...LTY... |

Stinging words D. 'Tis true - nothing leaves a more hollow feeling than empty loving... but oh how many people settle for that... Michael |

Very powerful Devina, I can still feel the sting from the last verse. . . "Return to your solitaire, only beware- You shall bleed this heart no more, Live upon bliss, of lust and kiss- As loneliness seeps to the core…" And yes, a lot of people do settle for this, but I can see that you are not going to be one of them. . . Great poem! ------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

All passion and heat, a candles flame, which burns too quickly and is gone, leaving a bitter wick.... Beautiful D. |
