Never Gone Too Long
By Mute Serenade
You are
A pale peice of pleasantry
Backflips crash-folded
Dismayed at the creases
A woman's origami
Conformed into textured scenery
A fragile beauty betrayed
And unfolded
Dismayed by your creases
Every raw flattened edge
Leather like lines
Character built catastrophe
I'll trace your imperfections
Graciously with my hand.
I have not
The desire to change you
You-
In such glory under my eyelids
Not to be bent
Nor put under glass
To remain
So I can praise your battles
Compare folds and torn corners

woah wonderfully written from start to finish.. i agree with girly, every line is beautiful.. embracing each other for what we simply are, not to heal or fix but to love, all the crooks and raw lines .. our imperfections are our ultimate glorious beauty,

like a skeleton seeing itself , sitting up slowly , counting ribs , seeing itself bend ... self without soul ..just the things the eyes can see ... connected to wishes , or loves ... this was where it threw me ... this was starkness ... thankyou .. cornel

I especially enjoyed the opening verse. And.. 'In such glory under my eyelids Not to be bent Nor put under glass' a pure appreciation without scrutiny... absolutely lovely. :::OLd
