she awakes crawling from nightmare's mouth dripping a false birth (tricked again) shuddering - palms her blinking wounds grinding visions out that strayed into waking she stares across the room she has a canvas there no one understands it draws her- this blankness she rubs her hands over it's frightening potential presses her fever to it's clean cold holds it to her as she has for most of her life she wants it to love her accept her completely like a word on a page but the emptiness is full and cannot accept more with burning eyes and a dark smile she finds the buckets that contain her words all of her colors she pours them to make a bath dips her fingers swirls the paint spinning sentences rhyming rainbows and iron she contemplates the spiral adding tears then slowly pushes her hands in feels the rush up her arms the flood of thoughts her face reflecting in shiny oils caught in paragraphs she stands up cupping her hands around a poem and before it slides through her fingers she annoints herself pouring it over her head rubbing it into her hair with desparate exultation on her face she steps into the story sitting covering her belly breasts she rubs the colors into her skin her face she submerges listens to her heartbeat ears filled with her past voices and absorbs all the pain the wonder of them she rises streaming what she could not hold a glistening palette of her history stepping from the bath silent holy slowly moving forward unsure steps getting used to burden until stronger gaining speed focus paint trailing like sunflares she runs opening her arms to fly into her canvas a meteor of a person trying to break through the thin white membrane and leave her mark like the truly born |

dips her fingers swirls the paint spinning sentences rhyming rainbows and iron she contemplates the spiral adding tears then slowly pushes her hands in feels the rush up her arms the flood of thoughts her face reflecting in shiny oils caught in paragraphs she stands up cupping her hands around a poem and before it slides through her fingers she annoints herself pouring it over her head rubbing it into her hair with desparate exultation on her face she steps into the story sitting covering her belly breasts she rubs the colors into her skin her face she submerges listens to her heartbeat ears filled with her past voices and absorbs all the pain the wonder of them =================================== Ok....its official...you are just too good to be true...moth heaven.  I dont know which I love more..the poem..or the reasons... perfect poet sir...absolutely perfect. "How could I stand here with you and not be moved by you." |

she has a canvas there no one understands it draws her- this blankness she rubs her hands over it's frightening potential presses her fever to it's clean cold ~*~ Read "Blood" by Patricia Traxler... you're got the gift, Brian... quit the day job... Sigh. |

well damn smile ok....I can do this without choking up but you guys are the BEST ok? this was Karen's vision she felt the need to do this... and I told her "you need to write that" but she wouldn't "I'll just rhyme and dime it" sound familiar? she wanted me to so I did my words..her vision..almost a duet but I knew she would kill me had I called it a duet I thank you all for responding to me so nicely it humbles me I want to thank you those that read me and I never get around to thanking I feel inadequate in the responding department but please know I read way more than I reply my time...is precious unfortuantely Pip comes 4th....smile thank you all again I love you Karen Brian |

I would have clobbered you had you called this a duet because it's NOT a duet. I just had this urge to do some, um, body art. You wrote every lovely word. Now hush up and kiss me. Thank you, bri... |

To know someone so completely that you can express their very heart and soul in such beauty takes a very special being, and I won't quote every line here, but she is captured in every single line. I applaud you Bri, this was a portrait of a favorite soul friend. She has indeed a canvas no one understands, but perhaps you?  Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
