Stillborn in the bloodied sheets Of my heart Afraid to move should I wake his desires For I could not bear to touch him, Not again. I am the living Dead-skin to all that I had dreamt In waking hours Of touch and tender And I am violently absent Beside him As is he to I He has no raining inkling no pitter patter nor lightning fork Across our dark evenings My anger A force Back and forth In conversation I wonder how he does not see His actions And the links To my words He never does, So I sat under his arm For hours, so close thinking Splashing for deeper water Kicking for undercurrents To scrape him away Off the windscreen of memory A passing fly, Another death in me That will only be recorded as an accident That spanned A year Or so A sentence From another life I suspect and After all he has named me I am alive From the shoulders up I am cunning, again And I disrobe Only for another in mind From the shoulders up. Damned ladies of Orpheus |

The sense of loss, longing and lost hope shines like a beacon from these words. Magnificent job! |

Gemdrop! You're back! Gosh this aches. You have an incredible amount of talent! You blow me away with every single piece of poetry of yours that I have read. Sounds as tho' you have been going through an emotionally difficult time. Keep your eyes on the skies and forget the crap that drains your loving energy. Loving hugs, Linda |

"And I am violently absent Beside him" My favorite line...but there were so many that blew me away... but that is nothing new.. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" ~Unknown~ |

You touched so close to my own thoughts here Gemma Jo, that it brought me back to those very moments when I was honest with myself. |
