The tears trek down my cheeks the black ribbons of unhappiness curl around my neck, squeezing the life I have away from me the hand I hold small and innocent grasps trying to pull me closer the shake of my hand can't get it to let go, the small nails dig into my palm drawing blood and love the laughter of its green soul, burning my heart, the tugging and ripping and the seams, pull me to the ground Your voice floats in the air, your laughter pulls me away from reality I try and turn and see your laughter, but I'm anchored to the ground by vines, the laughter your voice fades away, I never really did get to say goodbye, the tears run freely they won't stop, I want to be strong but I can't I need you to come and be here keep me safe and happy, show how life is great all I can do is cry and be afraid come save me!please! i need you dont let me go....

OMG, what a wonderful plea. I absolutely love this. It;s going into my library just in case I say the wrong thing at the wrong time someday! Thanks "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." ~RFK |

You did an excellent job on this poem. The repitition of the word "laughter" made a distinct image. It improved the message quite considerably. Excellent, Regina. "Drawing blood and love" I had a senryu that ended with this line once. Not a word of a lie! -Allan The unintelligent are merely tools for the intelligent. That would make my house a veritable toolshed. ~~Allan Riverwood |

This was a nice poem......at some points i got the sense of desperation. I liked it though....hope things are well.....how's brad? hows life? I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Ina: The imagery in this poem is quite powerful. The first four lines virtually blew me away, lol. Impressive writing! |
