i feel as though there is a story behind this that we are not seeing- i\'m curious what the love thinks about what occured :))

You know it\'s a good poem when someone wants to turn it into a story.

LOL there is a huge irony I get from your words, no winners in love that\'s for sure. ā¤ļø Sometimes just sour grapes. Wonderfully written.

Brilliant!
(experiences enrich our perspectives
add depths to our empathy pools
we ink what we see, but
outsider eyes
rarely truly see
or want, to see
that song and dance of defiance
in those now, cagelss veins
spitting that rotten feeling
like a Maya Angelou, daring poem
forced to witness Time change
and yet generation after generation
is still
dusting that crimson soaked dirt
forced to rely
on the generosity of those
that resemble the very people
who crippled a continent
and raped its lands, so the west
can sit on those high seats
deigning to offer their charity
while ignoring the very blood
on those hands, they keep
so pristine and washed clean...)

Brilliant!
(nature\'s beauty, cut short
by cruelty of life\'s poetry
or a heart, pricked by thorns
yet gentle as rose petals
poetic form as a caging
of reality\'s artistic chaos
syllables, handcuffed
so our creativity may soar
...free)

I wish KP would spend time in West Africa. I will buy her a one-way ticket! heehee.
She wouldn\'t help much though. She would only find out the botox clinic there. lol.

Kinsey Peterson said:

perhaps i am reading too far into this- but the poem could go two very different directions. you found a beautiful flower and became quite taken with it- or fleur can mean a blossom. and picking it ending a life before it truly began. the duality of poetry at its finest. is it beautiful or sorrowful? either way it is a fantastic write.

Hello dear Nev, so lovely to be able to come by and write something once more, you are of such poetic beauty that when people read your poems they relate deeply of course I can only really speak on behalf of myself but I truly mean it, your deep sense of truth that\'s spills out from beyond your poetic heart will always keep me coming back to read more. šŸ¤—
