While the World Waits to Rebuild My Pain

Hypnotic air looks at my heart
while the world waits
to rebuild the pain of old wounds
by turning back and twisting words.
Still, I offer up heaven as I write
inside a web of remembrance
where a fire burns in the darkness
of everything I ever said
that was not heard.

Overnight the feelings of innocence
tremble on my shoulders
but the night still asks me
where you are
when I look out the window.
I began to wonder
if I spelled out storm
inside my web
to create a field capable of keeping
this smile on my face
sweet.......
and oh so slow.

One day I will walk to a place I know
where there are rooms
where I can escape from the world
waiting to rebuild my pain.
I will then write with naked eyes
words that tell shattered glass
to be silent
while hypnotic air
becomes a gateway
for my smile's refrain.

This is certainly an emotional poem Neva..Just know that your feelings are understood in the most compassionate way possible from a distance. The depth of your gentle brush stoke with words is far more vivid than even your well thought expressions of the heartfelt emotions you share with us...Your images are so matched and draw the reader hypnotically to every letter of your prose perfection. Very beautiful lament...

I feel you Neva, in this one, a deep and essential loss, beautifully interwoven in the positive power of your words. With confidence and desire for the moment, there... Such a heartfelt honest beautiful write.

A pure magician when it comes to words, playing and twisting them just so that it turns into a masterpiece of art. the last stanza was what really stood out for me, as well as the strong, heartfelt words in every line. Simply beautiful.
