I stand watching you hold
Heartache in your hands
Mesmerized by its complication
Pain etched like ridged fingerprints
Turning into cement on a blanket of sand
Your hands hold tight the ache
That turns desperation into blades of agony
Destroying the beauty you’ve built inside of you
I reach out to soften your grasp
To heal you with my strength
But it is too late…
Your pain now set in stone for the world to see
Very moving
Beautiful
A very eye-catching self-portrait once again. You have quite the talent.
Haha… No, not I. I have no such poetic ability!
Sorry. I wasn’t fearful of replying…had to work.
Let me think about it; my mind is not artistic at all!
That makes me want to do this even more. I will turn your words into emotional gold..lol
I am sure you can…!
You are so deep and beautiful. You amaze me.
I do? Wow honored because I really really love the things you write.
Well thank you
But I just admire how much you put yourself out there, completely open, both physically and emotionally. While I remain hidden behind a penname and a profile pic that’s just empty clothing, and anything personal that I write is hidden in cryptic poetry or the experiences of my characters. Your poetry is soul stirring, so I’m amazed every time I visit your blog.
Thank you MrMysterious
. I will take that compliment!!! When people recognize and share in my emotions it comforts me.
Well I couldn’t hold it in anymore lol
Definitely, I’ve been thinking about that the past few days, that’s probably where this burst of words emerged from because you’ve been on my mind. As I’m sitting here I’m writing an update for my blog in which I claim that my “break” will end on January 12th, so I’d say, once I’m back in the flow of writing daily poetry, that week, I’ll send you an email. I’m looking forward to it
I watched you turn into a statue of gold, my Midas touch was not used much..what you needed was portion of love
mine was empty and your’s was dried up.
