I am sure Enamel glitters when I smile A warning to anyone It would not feel the same Beneath my palms Beneath my lips. Deletion and burning occurred After I had realised It’s been a long time So long I don’t remember all the things I loved And I don’t count the months Since I loved them in loss. Pulling out perfect teeth My closed lids open jaws Hoping for some overspill of yearning that no longer exists Each pearly white tooth is a gravestone Though you’ll find no tears here A peaceful tongue no longer speaks your name. Find me fearsome creature then Monster To whisper you away from my lucid trap When sleeping self is free to find you in the smallest cavity Reborn am I to feel you cold and meaningless A vivid reflection of how I feel about you in waking hours. And I know I’m dreaming Speechless with weak bones and enamel, unable to wake. |

Hoping for some overspill of yearning that no longer exists Each pearly white tooth is a gravestone Though you’ll find no tears here A peaceful tongue no longer speaks your name. Ah my TFW friend, yet another example of why you'll always be one of my favourite poets 'Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota |

Welcome back indeed, this is fabulous Gem and yes one of my fav's as well  Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Dear Gemma, this is an impressive write as all your creations. It's like climbing high mountains and see the valleys down in depth as dark cuts. Happy to see you in here! And what a surprise to find also Raffaele ... ciao! Love, Margherita |
