Soul Cleanse

Honestly, I have no tether at all to this poem. I must've dipped into someone else's stream when I captured it.

My wish is a knife

to tear a hole in a star

and bleed it.

With its blinding energy

glistening hot and cleansing

I'd wash my soul free of you.

And this way, maybe, Mark you would acquire, refined cloud carving skills, I should imagine, with the residue falling swiftly to the ground, as you would be up there in a balloon with special air equipment, completely un-phased by the altitude. One's imaginations flows with this most interesting poem, good stuff.

[Mark]

thank you Sheema... I think I would just close my eyes and will them close!!! :)

That was powerful. I know the feeling of wanting to cleanse yourself from someone or something far too well. Fantastic job.

Sorta like taking a bath with a sandblaster ? *Grin* But yes, I have felt like this at times when I'm very depressed or I have guilt eating me up about something. The purity of white fire.

This sounds a little depressing tho - girl troubles ?

[Mark]

girls are always trouble! But no, I'm not sure where it came from it just came out.

[dw817]

I can't honestly say girls have ever been trouble for me. Challenging, frustrating my sanity at times :) but never so much trouble.

[Mark]

semantics :P
