A sky full of You

as a concept its alarming,
as a read, frankly - its horrifying,
as an artistic expression of the need we all feel to exhume
unwanted influences form our lives, well
let\'s just hope \'Just\' writing it out: was cathartic, enough...
(thanks for choosing to share, better out and shed, than kept-in and repressed) lol

They fall, I fall

(Brilliant!)
there\'s a poem, by one of my favourite modern poets: \'Ada Limon\'
titled \'Late Summer after a Panic Attack\'
and its first few lines read:
\'I can’t undress from the pressure of leaves,
the lobed edges leaning toward the window
like an unwanted male gaze on the backside,\'

Comparing someone you like to the beauty of a leaf .. and how you fall and feel vulnerable ... wandering if this person can see you ..

Beauty and You
L. B. Mek said:

these choice syllables
portray every inch, the scarlet
of our repressed dreams, ambitions and pain
that trail, every step
of what we overcome: in life...
(Beautifully worded and distilled
a genuine poem!)
thank you, for choosing to share
