I am spinning a r O U n d drawing a circle in the sky. Drawing a white line around myself. Sticky fingers! Daisy chains and purple flowers in black silken hair. She smells of rose petals and honeysuckle sweet soft strings of music from her flower floating garden "Ring a ring a rosy a pocket full of posy!" Wearing her grandmothers grandest jewellry toasting with her mothers finest crystal and proudly boasting lipstick, smeared across her chin. Her eyes are creased at the edges a mouthless smile But I can't see the white line anymore Water welling up like crystalline tears racing down a soot-stained cheek fingernails cracked bleeding Eyes that once laughed without a smile Now cry without tears Still, she toasts to crystal raising the glass pipe to her lips Ice Ice Ice In her lungs and of her heart. Hood hides the beautiful hair once decorated in sweet petals Face bared for all to see Broken Cracked in half right down the middle. Only no one does. And she hides singing to herself "A tissue! a tissue! We all fall down Dead" |

What a haunting write... and how well displayed... I would ask for the inspiration behind it, but I fear it would be too private... Thank you... for the read. |

Ceinwyn, divine chaos and Sunshine ~ I reckon you all just about get the marshmallows too. Sunshine ~ I wrote it partly about my past and partly about a friend. And that awful feeling you get when you realise you can never go back to relive it, kind of like expecting another step on the stairs and being surprised by the sudden halt. or you know, finding out a friends on meth. eeeeither way. gosh I am silly tonight. hugs to you all, and those scones too. xx |

Van Gogh set to words.....the madness modern, the colors old as human kind. I wrote a tiny poem a few days ago, about poets who write the same poem over and over.... you may hereby shout "Not It!" ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |
