Broken

Your gentleness moved me, enticed me to stay within your midst...your passion awakened my flesh...

 Endless night...

No one hears her silent cry as black rain falls upon
Blatant scars, etched deep, behind the mask;
Prism's have no colour here this night...
Memories of warmth, 

 Broken pieces drifting in empty promise...
Beyond the ache that chilled her faith...

 

Beyond trembling lips, that bled
Passion...
In breaths of broken prayers
Silenced, while tears fell, and
Kisses barely brushed against lips, once full,
With fusions of rapture
Dripping from tongue's tip...

 

Stifled moans, translate quietude,
Aching, aching, aching, while
Touch,
Crumpled, as Whispers of denial, washed up on barren sands,
Bent under finger-tipped temptations
Staggering to the sway of surrender,
Provocative, elusive, crushed...

 

Futility lashed on breaths
Cold and bare, in the spill of written confessions,
Denial dresses in whispers, so it seems....

Drowning without water, 

She bleeds with no wound

Stumbles in a swirl of heartache, tangled in shadows,

 Cowed by a tapestry of teardrops

Crafted in unspoken wounds; 

Her dream-scape wings, damaged.

Yet love still lingers...

Precious..

I linger in the dampness of shared breaths;

Where I swallowed your spirit

Silenced...

Closing my eyes

Fragile fingers hold

One dead rose, pressed against her lips

It does not crumble

And memories do not leave..

I breathe now to dream

To string the pearls of hurt

Upon the threads of my life...

Across the distance

Loving you

No matter where you are....

once we swallow another's spirit...we breathe them, live them..doesn't matter whether they are still with us or not.

this had a nice feel to it in the sense of finding sanctuary with another...someone who understands and even if it is for a brief moment can give us that passion and understanding despite our scars.

Poignant and ever so lovely, as always. Deep sense of yearning and pain in this one, unlike the other's...scars ever linger.

'I linger in the dampness of shared breaths;
Where I swallowed your spirit
Silenced...'

I linger in your poetry....

[quinfinn]

your words are the poetry of elusive dreams and misspent feelings, an outpouring of emotional rapture and anguish. i am loathe to make comments in light of the delicate beauty of these blissful mournings and heartfelt sorrows. exquisite is an understatement for the words you have penned here. i am breathless and my soul hangs upon these pendulous utterings of pure love and regret....color me captivated and immersed by your emotions....awesome write!

[Angel of Heart's]

There is a pain that runs into the core of the soul when we open up our hearts, tear down those walls, and give ourselves to someone we trust to love
us always.....Thank you so much for your amazing review... you gift me smiles tonight :)

[quinfinn]

i know, all too well, the pain of lost or unrequited love...it has been a mainstay in my life...you emote it profoundly and with much depth.

All that is them...To be engulfed, completely awash of another, drenched in all that is them, breathing, dreaming, hoping and longing all seem to line up at our heart, softly bringing us this sense of need and desire for all that is them. Very nice Dear Angel, happy I stopped by on a Sunday morning.

[Angel of Heart's]

Thank you sweetheart...and I am happy to have graced your day....
Always you smile me Jack :)

Swallowing someones spirit. As they swallow ours we should swallow their's. Then there is a connection for ever. Whether this is good or bad is impossible to say but this write peals out a plaintive note of wishing. when the spirit is swallowed but the one is no longer there....... ah.
An excellent, extrodinarily sad missive. A cello note of sad writing.

[Angel of Heart's]

Ken...I am so happy you found the absolute core of this write....and your comments rest within my heart....thank you for taking time to read between the words...:)

Sometimes...dreams & memories are more vivid than the real.
Then they become all that we have!
This poetry is so sensual and touching, I had tears in my eyes!

[Angel of Heart's]

[DIVYA]
