in the pouring rain

0 posted 2003-08-05 10:05 PM



your tears reached down and gripped my hand
so tightly the blood ran cold
for once it felt good to have a mind



falling down in the course of seconds
scolding eyes were upon my bare back
worst of all i wanted to remeber
the mere minutes it took you to take me
and break me into the pieces i carry in a bag
close to my fingertips, and next to the glue
with which i use to play with
keeping myself together in a self crisis

now the blackened wall feels cool on my face
smeared with red marker dubbed blood
touched the electric box, i feel the heat
wishing i could be engulfed by it

not knowing why


* the pouring rain kisses my lips with innocence as you look into my eyes *

following you..I am a witch and need bunny for my stew

Great poem. I liked the last part the most I like coldness meself. I put my face against glass and wish i could be frozen..engulfed in that. and don't know why. I guess we are dfferent in that way.

hmmm. I'm listening to the song "I will survive" a little out of the usual sigh Ri..think I'm going to go to bed. for once.

insanity is not a crime

You just etched a moment of truth Riley.

So glad I went backtracking today.

and smiling at Wind, I am a witch too--so I say "poof! Back to the top with you!"

Nice work Riley.
