Alone alone it staggers me to find out you are an empty shell something so beautiful yet ugly and empty inside living tightly turmoiled in a fragile bubbled sphere a hot fire of self centeredness heat that is fueled by fear circling yourself around a stone you repetitiously speak laced words in which to intricately describe yourself but they only scream echoing back nothingness and in doing this act who are you trying to convince – you or me magic begs to change stone alchemized to a pumping sigh but no one can touch you feathered hands find themselves withdrawn singed and empty never allowed to cross and penetrate the circumference of brim blazing of just your needs knowing no guilt in selfishness showing no regard of having others feel lonely in your company and in the hierarchy-ed triangle of life and love there is perfect selection and you shall remain alone |

a hot fire of self centeredness heat that is fueled by fear circling yourself around a stone you repetitiously speak laced words in which to intricately describe yourself but they only scream echoing back nothingness and in doing this act who are you trying to convince – you or me ah..so you now know how I feel about what I write.. ![]() well done Helen, concise, strong, good imagery and scathing.... |

Such loss in this...but that's not what this poem is about. The theme is strength, and I applaud you for that, even if it's bought through pain. Even a heart of stone can break, and it may be that you just put some well-deserved cracks in one. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

"magic begs to change stone alchemized to a pumping sigh but no one can touch you" OK, but what is to be done when none survive touch? |

Loved the powerful imagery you espouse. Especially liked "living tightly turmoiled in a fragile bubbled sphere" Powerful write. |
