Tonight I Started Hate

By cre

I hold in hands that weave the wind
around somehow supple senses
a small and childish breath
and fingers touch creation
drawing dreams in sparkles that spiral
between every cell of me
I cradle a letter
so solitary
in its own being of something more
than ever all said would never be
singularity solidified
in this
consonantal egg.

padded prints
worship
this frailty
a tottering tip
an existential shell
that bears the brunt
of
a delineated being
someone's picture perfect me.

I still toe a line
cloaked in amber ambiguity
cornered darkness draped
in dripping retribution:

tonight I love this letter
tonight I started hate.

    very nicely written, sounds quite peaceful, but I can almost relate to the feeling of hate to the point that I feel just quiet and reserved for the sake of everyone else...leaves a lot to imagination, great write...

    I didn't witness the chatroom topic, so I will just go with what I am reading, what I am feeling. I know this is maybe supposed to be a poem of hate, but I feel light, almost peaceful by reading this. Maybe this hate is not such a sad feeling. {dia}

    I could say I understand but that would be a lie, I wonder is it your self you hate or is it the everything, Nice write makes one really think,,,,,,O.
