I am...
By Narcissa
He blinks.
Blinded
and broken
…She made sure of that…
He mumbles
“Who are you?”
I tell him
I am
A sapphire in the rough
Imperfect…like you…
Like earth
Carved of valley and hill
I am
Raspberries in rain
Dark and seductively bitter
Lavender in
wind
The scent of home
Of your pillow and bed sheets
I am
Your dream
…that never
comes true.

This accounted for all the senses. A vivid picture of those things that always remain just out of reach. I appreciated the way you painted this picture, very nicely done.

God damn, you kick some ass. Nay, not just some ass. Just ass. You kick it. I wouldn't even know where to begin. Probably at the end, of which, I can only say, I feel sorry for "he".

Your poems make pain so palpable...almost as if you have brought to life these leeching parasites of despair with their own hearts and brains and long fingers that lurk in the corner of otherwise perfect paintings. You rouse such buried depths...

I believe I was inspired by your last post...since it was the last thing I read last night and this was spinning in my head this morning...so thank you...I think. I suppose it could have ended different...but I just write what's inside...like the rest of us.
