Salty Affection

Salty Affection

A Poem by Nix
"

This is something I wrote a long time ago but forgot how much I like it. Its sad but I thnk we've all been here.

"
I look up at her and she looks back
Assuring nothing but compassion
But there I watch the bluest oceans
Pain her cheeks with their salty affection
With trembling lips she smiles
But its a smile of deception
Who is she?
This is not me
And this is not my reflection

Short sweet and to the point. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in thw orld that we lose the essence of who we are. I must I have been there more times then I would like to admit but I have learned through it all that without being yourself then your destined to have fake people in your life. Once you become true to yourself then you will find people who will be true to u.

Whoa. Nic, this is beautifully written! I liked how you described the "crying" part. Clever choice of words, which gave a strong impact on this piece. Of course, I truly, truly liked these lines:

"bluest oceans
Pain her cheeks with their salty affection"

A brilliant write, as always. :)

I was confused at first. But then aha! So many times we look in to the mirror and see somebody else that is us, but not us. very good poem. lots of depth and emotions.

At the beginning, I thought it was about two different people, and so I was surprised by the ending about the reflection in the mirror. It was interesting, and there was an edge of desperation to it, almost frantic but subtle. I enjoyed the mood of this one.

Wow Nix if I could drop a poem like this I would consider myself a poet instead of a guy who writes stuff. I enjoyed this poem, the length is short but the thought provoking piece will live way pass this review. Excellent write. One of my favorites. I plan to share this with my other WC friends through read requests. Great write!
