standing on a shadow's lace

Hurricane Glass

how you haunt me October
ghostly standing between me
and reality
so dark and beautiful you are
cold and wet blanketed folded
tightly against my bare skin
and gripping it as in chill
how deep is this heartache
it swims against the current
and pulls me in its watery ways
liquid emotion clinging thick to air
with winds that knee bends trees
of leaves paper branches in turn
rich fine colors celebrating pain
across bark brown sandpaper
you drive me like the rain
laying between the heavy drops
parched within this quenching drink
for in your clouds there are no stars
in the aching of my skin from inside out
night time screams to save me
but the roar of silence is so deafening
how do I catch my breath in wind
when I live between the cracks of shadows
doom from one seen as an angel
flying upon these wings of
glass

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

wow.

I just read babygirl's poem and now yours...and um, you ladies are making me, um, squirm.

Thank God/dess you are okay!

And I haven't decided if you are talking about water here, or a lamp. (I have a passion for antique oil lamps, so I walked into your poem with that in mind, so I could be way off...)

But thank you sweet lady, for sharing the artistry of your ways with us.

This poem is beyond anything I have read of yours which is not an easy thing to do since your poems always reflect such beauty and passion. I am awe struck by this work. Tommy

Helen, this was simply magnificant visually. October has been so darn mean.

What can I say that hasn't already been said?

Talent and emotion drip from this...I eagerly opened my mouth to consume the feeling of it.
