Some scream to mind, yearn
for those evergreen thistles to
cut dew drops in diamond
upon my paper sheet skin.
Hurt not the healthy, cleanse
rivers of gold with shadows
of trusted tip toes in tears
upon my paper sheet skin.
Whisper a mellow leaf, turn
watchful abyss into meditated
anger, hate, lust, a drowning
upon my paper sheet skin.
And when mine eyes seen
beauty in your hollowed
promises, letting love bleed
upon my paper sheet skin,
does the blade sing shallow
enough to swim grace on
your paper sheet skin.

- Comment from author about the poem: If I do not write, I know my mind will slip into a hole deep enough to sleep in. And so, each day I write for approximately ten minutes and this is the first creation. For me, this poem is everything to me, the words that hang in the balance, unspoken.

Welcome to this website and I'm grateful you're writing/sharing 🌻
Thank you! 🌼
WELCOME ABBI ~ Thanks for your first poem on this site ! I have been writing poetry for over 16 years and (as you know) it is very cathartic and a release for our feelings ! This is n excellent "free verse" Poem because it has ~ Form (verses 4 4 4 4(+3) ~ Rhythm (meter) ~ Repetition "upon my paper sheet skin"
SKIN is our outer protection from cuts & scrapes & bruises & bacteria etc ! Without skin we would die ! Any form of "self harm" (bloodletting) is the ultimate "cri de coeur" or "coup de grace" and often (with TEENS) it is mutual
"does the blade sing shallow
enough to swim grace on
your paper sheet skin "
I work with Students 17 to 30 and I know that "cutting" is a real form of self expression and release for the frustration of Modern Society. Thanks for sharing ~ Every Blessing ~ BRIAN Please check my POEMS ~ Thanks B.
Great analysis that really connotates the current GCSE habit of doing such with poems. It is great to receive such constructive comments 🌼
