Unhinged

Unhinged

A Poem by MsJewel
"

~ don't throw spears ~

"

            Cold Like the Stars ~ Carrie Graber

 

 

Hurtful words aimed carefully...

           swords

                                                          piercing

                                                                        my

                                                                               heart

                                                            Once thrown

they can never be taken back…

                                                               not really

 

Retaliation rolls off my tongue

with the precision of a sharp shooter

Finding the spot

                                                                         that quickly leaves

                                                                                                          complete silence

 

except for the slam of the door on his way out

 

Perhaps I should remove the hinges…

Julie, The style of writing in this piece is a perfect match for the content, which is simply excellent. I know now that I need to read you more often; there are so many words, passages that hit home while I read...left me wishing the write was longer. And your closing line ties the whole piece up in a glossy bow: "Perhaps I should remove the hinges..." Perfect ending, ta da! I'm becoming a fan of yours, I hope you don't mind 8^) take care...dan (My real name; I use a pen name on the other site I post stuff, I regret that I didn't use my name when I registered. riki is actually the name of our ferret.) Thanks for sharing this with us. dan

Thank you for your lovely comment and compliment Ana :) Julie
Words can and do hurt...and once said can never be taken back. Revenge, though, is not as satisfying as one might think. I like the empowerment of this one....but then I think all your poetry is exceptional. Lydi**

with the precision of a sharp shooter

Finding the spot

that quickly leaves

complete silence
Julie....this is such a wonderful poem, No words are useless in this powerful piece. Really speaks to the reader and flows very well. Great job

A very real and honest look at life as it is. A very enjoyable, thoughtful read.
(Perhaps swinging doors like in the bars of the old west . . . where gunfights might often break out. )

Swinging doors may work! :) Julie
Some strong huff & puff in this one. Did I hear the door slam?
