chest cracked
open and bleeding
from a deep slumber
rapid and seething
this haze
the fog
my hand
through form
thin air
dimensions
to another time
and place
erase
my mistakes


the cemetary lingers
and I want to stay . . .

Very powerful lines and emotions in this Sue.  And I like the style.

__________________________

What a powerful write, and the last line - blows me away, it's a perfect ending.  You do write dark well and I relate.

Excellent choice of title.

Excellent subject matter... I am in love with the first four lines.  What a morbid description of death, the image of a rotting corpse.  Chest cracked open and bleeding from a deep slumber... now that, my good lady, is the kind of dark elegance with which I'd like to learn to write someday...

Excellent closing lines.  Everything about this one fully impresses me... I really can't wait to match my pen against yours.

I like the dark side of blue you're wearing little birdie...especially your closing, wraps it up 'write' nicely.

Good on you Tweety!

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Sue, this is dark but well-written, sweet friend, I hope this is only poetry and not related to your angelic spirit as you have too much light to fall to your knees! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send special angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is definately worth the time to read and re-read several times...
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Day after day I'm more confused,
So I look for the light through the pouring rain...

Your pain is indeed palpable--and very poetically expressed. I just feel like giving you a great, big hug and having some heavy girl talk over a nice hot cup of Chai tea!
From your replies and poetry, I have gathered that you are going through a difficult time. Someone as sweet and wonderful as you are should never have suffer so.

Healing hugs, Dear One,
Linda xo
