What dreams are these?

Shallow, dirty water cast
into my eyes.
I am blind, once again, for sight is crumbling..this
must be the end.

To what do I owe this pleasure?
A whipping
bird's wings in flight,
humming it's way across my flesh,
and I
begin to bleed

once again..

The sun has risen early this day
and I can smell your scent,
it's burning under the rays,
the heat is taking
it's time to melt

my senses

are gone

once again,

I am left with nothing but the time,
to count down the seconds until
you finally arrive..

I am cursed
to grasp the space in front of me,
and scream a million names I've never heard.

I have been cursed,
once again,
to shed coil after coil,
until
there's
nothing left

but lungs and a heart made of iron.

You do have a way of expressing thoughts that I really enjoy.  I love what you do with words.

I always love reading your poetry, You are such a beautiful writer. You weave you words like magic... deep dark and magnificent. I particularly loved this one. I wish I could capture the essence of truth like you do with your words. Look forward to your next piece.

Meg~

Got to say, I couldn't pick favorite lines because when I thought I had them the last line punched me in the gut..(you seem to like doing that)   

Ahhhhhhh...it's a very good day when I get to read you...

  Thanks for being.

They are right.  Any one word, sentence or phrase plucked out as "best" leaves a gaping hole...that's how to tie the thoughts together, that is how the poem becomes complete, when all is dependent on another.

So enjoyed, Meghan.  Thank you.

Wow this was amazing Karou.
I really enjoy your style of writing.
I'm glad I had the time to find this, this morning.

I'll definately have to keep my eyes open for your writing in the future.

Take Care,
Richy
