Silhouette
of black upon white
empty canvas
in the moonlight
A single drop frozen
by the tip-tap of time
Brazen cheeks
flushed and lined

Ohhh . . . how they stare
numb in the deep, dead of night
Someone has stolen
once brazen sight


A still life absurdity
brush in hand
Paying homage to nothing
left to understand
Painting a portrait
a palette of fears
Sabel strung bliss
black on blue in years

Mahogany hollow
once two rivers of bliss
Now birth quivering tears
never to be quelled by a kiss

Very beautifully written.  Wicked write.  I'm kind of out of it now, so perhaps later I will look very in depth at it and give you something more.  But it left an impact on me.

I get that felling of, solitude, like when sunlight mesmerize's the stillness of the past. When it shines on/in a chosen place/thing at the right moment. Nice writing.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

Such a lovely write. Rather sad at the end. Full of impact. Maggie

this is a sad write, i can't tell if it is a good thing to not be overcome by a kiss, because i am, but either or, fantastic write

Ryan, nuff said thank you so much - as long as you came away from it with something is all that matters to me thank you

poe, insightful there . . . yes solitude
and the shining is the moonlight, but also the sun, as you pointed out to me.  That;s why I love crituques, you see things in your writing you didnt even know were there . . . thank you

Thank you Maggie, yes sad . . . *smile*
YOU inspired me to write this in one of your threads!  Thank you

eor . . . I don't think it's a good thing to not be overcome by a kiss . . . and yes, sad  thank you  

Thanks guys
xxoo

This is sad...:'(

A still life absurdity

Paying homage to nothing

Seems there's nothing left to feel.
