naked; i've been so naked.
sprawled across
the bed,
dying for you day by day.
and wandering the nights,
the alley ways,
the street lights.
i shone for you,
carried the weight for you.
and the flowers
blooming from my hands
was the only result
from you shining your sun
rays so brightly
onto my skin.
i am what you need,
i am what you should see
when you wake
up in the morning,
radiant in all its glory.
glory, glory, glory.
i dance for you,
my desires spinning around
like a twirling ballerina.
laced up in the obvious,
and coming
undone like an unneeded
answer,
a charming disaster.

wow. you created the most awesome images in my head kelly. This poem seems to be about resisting and giving in at the same time. Its so peaceful and subtle and yet its screaming.
your poetry just gets better and btter.

This is so amazing. I loved every word. The imagery was excellent.
This one's going in my library.

If I could fall asleep tonight
you know I’d dream of you
and wake up wondering
why my heart is so cold

Awesome.  I think subtle rhyme (answer-distaster) is one of the most powerful literary devices in poetry.  Great ending.

As have all those who were here before me,
I find this poem absolutly excellent!  I too,
loved that subtle rhyming, much better than
my own bumbling attempts at rhyme.  It took me
two reads to fully get this peom, but alas I'm
not as perceptive as usual.  Nice work!
