In Your Poetic Mind

This is a different twist for me....they are only words....


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



He spoke of
sensual gatherings
they  shared
in their last encounter

raw wounds
exposing   pain

Memories:
that
of burning
depths,
blackness that circled
her mind
when he
touched her skin
or tore his clothes
in hurry
steps to satisfy
himself
complete

Begging,
trying  to deny
every whisper,
flowing over
chilled veins,
   numb,
iced,  life

More then  that,
I think hate
is harsh
but she must have felt
that
somewhere
deep
inside

   an untitled
   heart

looking for
different horizons,
  in different scenes,
different nights,

they were all the same
  endless  complexions,

mirrors of faceless
tears

Maybe too lost,
even if
a stranger
could grant her
wishes
of penny happiness
kissing fountain
water
over and over

peeling each layer

slowly


I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Could I have been anyone other than me
True poems rest between the words
Give hope a chance to float, it will

they are never just words when in the hands of a gifted poet....
this is hauntingly, heartbreakingly beautiful.
Keep stretching the boundries...
or to quote a gifted poet..."peel each layer"

When your own emptiness is all thats getting through
There comes a point when youre not sure why youre still talking...
I passed that point long ago

Lauren, this is your best poem, bar none! And no, they are not only words, they are a gift and you've blessed us many times with them.  Each time I read you, you impress immensely and your growth as a poet is so evident.  Bravo, this moved me very much so.

Take care,
Melissa~

You are so visually descriptive Lauren,
down to the last detail!

They are always just that, WORDS,
and you are truly blessed that these are yours.

I love the way you write!!

...

i'm glad (such a mild, inadequate word) that they're just "words." i've been on both sides of this pillow fight.. the pain, the loss, the anticipations, expectations, lack of fulfillment, the dark breeze that flows through the discomfort of wondering why... even as you comply.

there is a lot of pain, and weak hope in this lauren. i'm touched.

Gee Lauren they are "just words" describing some of the most tormenting and also fulfilling of human emotions.  This I think is now my favorite of your writings.  If this is you just "spurting it out", spurt on, I think you are at a new level in your poetry that is extremely excellent and makes for a compelling read. Loved it can you tell?

We should spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end and more on when it's going to start!

I should think no heart
in description could ever lie
still between the mandatory beats
the body spirit brings

and it would seem to my unseeing eyes
tis all just words

Well said
with self

Lauren, you have no idea what type of memories this brings.....this truth in these words.....is so haunting to me.....
again your words whisper across my heart dear friend....

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.
