Just Vertigo

Teddy.15

 

Love’s truth

 spread out on a sheet of red ink

blood drained from my weakened veins

sucked violently into my pen

 I’m drowned in agony

as I write from

 the ruins of my very own Everest

I am without lines…

 

just vertigo.

    Oh I like this one. Real love will have us writing our truth in blood. It can feel crazy at times. But when that climax hits...it all comes together beautifully! ❤️

    • Teddy.15

      Your vision of my poetry always astounds me, you seem to see so much positivity even when I'm so dramatic lol ❤️ thank you dear Liz.

      • LIZ

        Lol I'm a "glass half full" kind of person. 😄 I can't help it.

        • Teddy.15

            Love,truth, blood, violence, agony
            And an ending that left me dizzy
            Without lines???
            Back with a vengeance
            Great read Teddy

            • Teddy.15

              Such expressive lines about the emotions inside that one feels when emptying the dam through a pin prick of a pen.

              • Teddy.15

                Sometimes we really are just left sick and dizzy. Thank you so much dear Sorenbarrett for coming by to these scribblings 💖

                          I love the way you've framed this watershed moment in terms of blood and red ink. Loss of blood will cause severe vertigo as can the pain of love. Such artistry in these lines dear Teddy!

                          • Teddy.15

                            Awe dear Bella, sometimes love simply equals empty lines ❤️ thank you for your absolutely wonderful review. X

                              even when the going gets really tough, there are times when one just has to sit back, take a deep breath, close one's eyes gently and enjoy the view ..

                              and that's where you took me today my very dearest of Teddy's .. ❤️

                                  Love's truth can also be there at the bottom of that mountain Teddy, just be careful climbing down and love will be there waiting for you.
