let's cross over slithering "come to me, yes, come to me" temptation shush meanderings trails of nails upon new skin greed the need harsh hungering grunting my impurity in the clearing I confessed beneath the eyes of sky. I remember bend of blade beneath my feet were angels pressed from tangling in dew construed transgression of a supplicant a demon of a silhouette as mutters in the dark beget contrition acts of youth I knelt whispering his name I strayed "absolve me of the truth" I prayed burying my innocence as no one wept the loss I'm saved Holy Chrism - venerate - a Heretic in beg of taste of something much more pure than me. "Indulgence!" cried the Bishop, shamed by virtues of the flagellate "sins of flesh be sacrament" "Oil up the scourge," he spat, I bared my sins, convinced of fact that Saints were thirsty for my blood with sanctifying grace, assuaged atonement of the Passion plays - denial of my self. I'm saved. |

I agree with all the accolades, your talent is most evident and holds my great admiration.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

I'll have whatever she's having  See ... this time I got it, felt it, and for the life of me can't figure how you gave this fabulous poem birth in such a short time. You wrote this before doing dishes? Sheesh! Karen, write a book, for it robs you, and all of us a journey inside a very complex, compassionate, and intelligent mind. Would it help should I say, "Pretty please?" |

I bet you would promise anything to get an elemental to do the house chores! *LAUGH* "I remember bend of blade beneath my feet were angels pressed from tangling in dew construed transgression of a supplicant a demon of a silhouette as mutters in the dark beget" THIS is extraordinary writing. A bit of your best. I bow to your talent and I think the forces of the universe owe you a dozen screaming, clawing, surging, biting, shuddering ...uh ...ummm ...epiphanies ...yeah, that's it! *smile* |

yes sometimes I think... we would all be better off experiencing what we perceive rather than be TOLD that the butt of the sheep ahead of us in line is actually the loveliest perfume and that we should be thankful for it I love when you pour your truth I will always drink...... be true to you B |

Baby? sigh sometimes I give myself the creeps. and you're right and you're wrong about one thing, I may be flipping my emotional finger, but I really do care what others think... specially you. |

"that Saints were thirsty for my blood with sanctifying grace, assuaged atonement of the Passion plays - denial of my self. I'm saved." I saw this the other day but waited until today to respond... This piece is beyond words...a master piece. And you know I loved it. "If I were a better housekeeper I would lick this screen" ROTFLMAO and a comic to boot. Woman, you are the whole package.  love ya lady."cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" ~Sarah McLachlan~ |
