I Love you, Sylvia

Is it eccentric that you're my hero

that I sing praises to and beside 'Sylvia'

I see my insane reflection in your words

I aspire to be a genius in my pen's disaster

Words surge off the pages menacingly 

Knocks my heart on its  axis sideways

Pummels my soul to the chasm of hell's torment

Gone too soon, robbing timely light's passage

...........lived too many lifetimes akin to darkness

she did live too many lifetimes akin to darkness...you have to know how much i love this poem and how much it fits her personality and life.

i did my masters thesis on Plath and Sexton.
and coincidentally her daughter's name is Frieda Rebecca Plath.

like the excerpt from the Bell Jar also.

First line - typo..?

"Knock my heart on it's axis sideways" no apostrophe needed.

What a wonderful tribute! I love it, touching indeed.

What a touching homage to someone who desrves it. I read this one again and applaud you for it.
