Stop Touching Each Hurt

Stop Touching Each Hurt

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

I heard silence in the cobwebs of your soul............

"





















I heard silence in the cobwebs
of your soul
while everything else walked
as if lost
inside of the belief
that all you see is black and white.
Then, I watched you crawl in search of truth
among faces with eyes
that held the illusion of everything
you think you want in life.

Your fingertips seem to know more
about your emotions
than your tears do
because you touch each hurt
your heart mentions
until they bleed.
I watch you pause,
and look over your shoulder
for yesterday
almost as if you wish
it would never leave.

I wonder if you will ever learn
how simple
the feel of your own skin
could be
if you would just not let anger write its name
on your walls carelessly.
Perhaps then, you could see the sunlight
of a brand new day
and accept the shades of gray
that color me.

Like the use of the words here. Never let anger get in the way. It will get no one anywhere. Love these lines: heard silence in the cobwebs of your soul... I watch you pause, and look over your shoulder for yesterday almost as if you wish it would never leave. Great poem!

This is really beautiful. Hurt is a kind of masochism - it only exists as pain because we reach out and touch it every time.
Outstanding work.

I don't know what else to add to the accolades listed--I love your work--I was captured by your final stanza--maybe by how much I can relate. I am always moved by your writing---

Touching hurt makes sense. It is something we do. We feel it in so many ways not just internally. This is spoken with clear vivid thought and I love the line with cobwebs of your soul. That line really makes you see this picture inside the mind.

The entire piece is astounding!

I am especially entranced by the "cobwebs of your soul" right off.
Then,
"Your fingertips seem to know more
about your emotions
than your tears do
because you touch each hurt
your heart mentions
until they bleed. "
Where was this when I was living that? If I do again, I will pull this up.
Absolutely beautiful!

Nevea, your written word will always capitalize into a memory of never forgotten works. Your style always will be of value (Its quality of effect and emotion served in writing)

Thank You!
