Poemflesh

diary I ~


no one
can tell
where my
pain rises

let me feel

only you incline
your heart to mine
broken as yours is

let me have you

soundless awakening
breathless, pushing
into needs

wait for
the desire
sharp & uncomprising

that tells
on me
tells on you

have me

Hi Cynthia,

Very intense lines; I can imagine them written in flaming letter. There is a strong sense of presence in this poem: "sharp & uncomprising". Really powerful and skillfully composed.

Oy! Positively provocative. What an impact these bullet-like lines carry.

Cynthia said...

-vey LoL. Thank you Janice, the
short lines are a tad challenging
for me, yet I managed to abide by a 2 - 5 syllable [count]lines.
