Somewhere along the way
those others touched you
touched your heart-
in a place I never found.
(I’m sorry)
I’ll try
to touch it
now.

Immobile stretches
of humility
grate heavy sobbing wisps
(wisps of me)
to shredded puddles falling
falling
at your feet.

How can you not see-
see the hurt
stone deep on me?

I am transparent
pale as paper
how can you
NOT
see the hurt stone deep on me?

Recalling of your gallantry
(yesteryears and timid women)
I feel a massive shallow
festering to spread...
spread so hard
to callous.

Crystallized drops
lick
soft cheeks
tired eyes
and screaming soul-
in a way that makes you ask
why?
why so deep?
why so cold?

I tell you just this once...
Taste my tears
my secret fears
heal the cut
in silent hush
and hold me close
until this deep
has drown to sleep
Take my confession secret-
(hold it tight hold it tight)
and heal your loving
with woman of night.


**Just one of those haunting memories that come back from the beginning of a love storm...and? I had quite a rocky one to get the right storm.**

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

Consider yourself fuzzed

Poetry just doesn't get much better than this. Again, you look inside me and write me on the page. Great write!

There are storms, and then, there is the quiet storm.  You seem to have come through both of them to find peace.

Thank you.

I liked the imagery in this piece...it definitely brings back feelings that I just got over about my little predicament...sigh...

Nevertheless, this was a lovely piece. I always enjoy reading your work...>; )

Came close to crying here. This is so familiar here, that it could almost be one of my memories. "Woman of night" - I like that.

my secret fears"

"heal the cut,
in silent hush"
