Xposure ~

kiss me now before you lose your discretion's breath

want to reveal a hush'd whisper to you of darkly hue'd synopsis

it's not peer'd in a sunrise, overcast with the black tide of moons

it's where heart's pulse sank to the depths cursing Hades agility 

a shadowy horse of a furtive crimson view etch'd in gunmetal 

the vile reticent side sketched within the palm of my hand

written long ago, chipped upon pedestals of bare'd iniquity

the only lullaby is spun within crow's clawing soulless caws   

terrifying, they recall your tempest face and conspire within 

gray recoils of mask'd redundancies ferociously passing through

a glance of declination could send you reeling in a frenzied tailspin

each designated way the beast resides sitting 'tween credibility's abduction

swim in the vast ocean perspective's of secret landscapes or

 take my hand and dance in the squalls of obscurity's seascapes

apprehension amidst costly chances in exposure's rejection and denial

Searching for a distinct message quite literally hidden in the routine of daily actions and cherry-picking what you know in order to get one, and one that bothers you to no end . . . Or at least that's what I derived from this. Anywho, well done, friend. Keep it up~

[Frieda P]

Those dark cherry picking I'd say Tai, people tend to run from those, thanks muchly...

[vaishnavi]

a poem with deepest meaning in it i really like it

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

It is always that kiss that leaves one yearning ever more, well done, good read.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much kind sir.

[Blue]

Poets like you make me think I'm nowhere near "good" yet. Ah, Frieda. You are a master of wordplay.

[Frieda P]

You're too sweet Arzel, funny I feel that way about certain poets here too. You've already passed good, keep on penning my friend...

[Rita L. Sev]

take my hand and dance in the squalls of obscurity's seascapes...

If I had access to your computer I would break the apostrophe key. Other than that, this is a great ode.

[Frieda P]

Pssh & pfft'd ;-) Thanks Mark.

[Coyote Poetry]

Amazing artwork, music and poetry. The poetry was direct and honest. Many places and thoughts you took me with the strong description in the poem. I enjoyed the complete poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thanks Coyote, glad you enjoyed.

This piece of writing is rare but also unformulated. I do like the point and plot. Writing about sensuality and staying on task is not easy. Here, I believed you achieved this threshold. There are a lot of personal interjections that could be remedied with a thesaurus. Overall a decent piece of writing.

[Frieda P]

It wasn't meant to be about sensuality, more so baring one's soul, being accepted for who you are, no matter how dark the exposure may seem....thanks for your thoughts here, appreciate the review.

[Cassie]

[Frieda P]

Oh my Cassie, are you whinging again, this is getting to be a habit my sweet friend, I meant thanks so much. ;-)
