The down and out of it being reborn in light. Gut wrenching soul bending sadness Slop producing never ending slimed up sorrows Voids of abyss’s claiming nothing put painful mountains Street dead ending one way ending barriers A rose Upset mind in headache armor rattling Upturned stomach in mirrored acid reflections Nerves of steel rusted to dust magnetized endings Battered body bruised black to blue broken A vase Downturns in reverberations of down right blues Words that mellow out like vinegar in bottled wine Conversations made up that are more dead than alive In spirits that haunts your dead wish in self respect A tear in a vase with hope A storm of passion renewed in the grace of divine light A fragrance lost for a million years being reborn pure The prayer of a lifetime giving hope on bleeding knees A hand of nothing that reaches in to turn you around Two tears in a vase with a rose expanding Nature’s wilderness thorns and all understanding a special being A path of obstacles being overcome by the sheer will of inner strength People who dogged you so, being pushed aside upon their own sewage An inner glow of nothing but innocence saying nothing but thanks Several tears in a vase with a rose budding Loneliness in the arms of oneself growing inside smiles Elevated searches within walls that claim you as a portrait Skies storming in your passion to express your eruptions A world so imperfect that you can exist in it, in your new perfection A storm of needs planted in the roots of survival blooming on its own beauty Email me if you want a critique on or off line at [email protected] I write so much that I may seem to be inconsiderate of others; I do apologize for my flaws.

Cool piece Dave. I like the last line dimension of the Rose and it's transformation. |
