I am poor for the lord .

By Corinthian





writing  tragedies
across the corners of my bed




Taught to .....
stay hidden
and quiet
while the floor where
I stand is almost gone ... 



heartbroken panthers
are sleeping outside of my door ....

& I caress the softest thing that I know  
..holding tight
onto my own hand
here in the architects a.loneliest ....
 light ...

while the sky vomits white .
 


he holds my breath all night long
and I awaken with
snowflakes and sighs  

flames

and reflections.

Splitting the navy blue light 

into ribbons

down the hallway
 
wall


time is soft like dusted lilys .... 





you taste like honey & snow

    The images are nearly overpowering. Taking my mind away from the very words. I had to re-read a couple of times.. ^V^

    The sky vomiting white was quite picturesque and I too recall the taste of snow, although I haven't seen it in many years. THanks for this thoughtful piece, well done as always.
