Crucified Little Earthquakes

~inspiration Tori Amos, Crucify

looking for my savior to undo me

under the rubble of victims remission

my chained heart nailed to a cross

lust'd sheets beneath the dirty streets

crucify myself lookin' for imprinted adoration

little earthquakes of my soul unload'd

save me from myself and these blood tears

my heart thunders like a roller coaster ride,

struggle to captivate your poetic prowess

never good enough to leave my impassioned stain

severe'd connections in feeble breath's wake

washed away in torrents within ocean's depth

castles crumble in the chaos of my mindless muse

Often times we crucify ourselves over the pain others have inflicted on us. The act of confronting and dealing with the trauma on a daily basis is its own torment. Layer upon layer of suffering is expressed in your words with such heart breaking clarity.. x

[Frieda P]

Yes exactly Red, thanks so much for your kind words my friend. x

[TL Boehm]

the soul wants what she wants. this is a heart wrenching write on so many levels.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Tam, this is actually one of my favorites, so glad you paused.

We crucify the self all too often and we never seem to find the Saint that shines bright enough to heal us...or do we? I was listening to this album this week too, phenomenal poem and emotion and awesome music xox

[Frieda P]

Even the most powerful words cannot contain the flu feeling of our passions. Wonderful write.

[Frieda P]

True, thanks Pryde.

The potential of a relationship in a one night stand, and the quiet storm that follows afterwards knowing there's nothing? I really like the crucifixion concept though. Well done.

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Tai.

Your very welcome:)

[Tam Warink]

Frieda, ... just when I had given up all hope of you finding your muse, you go and pull something like this from within you and leave an " impassioned stain" upon me. I do care, do you know? The lust is an abject distraction at times like these.

100 washing torrents

Geez Tam, I had no idea you felt that way, are you trying to crucify me again, glad you found something in this one. ;-) Grazie mille kind sir.
