D E L E R I U M P R O M O T I V E

a bitter sluice archs
dark green and full
of gold

a shimmer cascade
falling forever

against the cool
shadow
of a quick dusk
the feel of the winds touch

caressing a dry hungry persistance
stitched with sparks

drench
but never quench
a seam of love
a coveted hate

a favoured scar
that vivid
sings
when passion
full of life
consumes
the restless
animal
desire

dancing in the
shade
in shapes
with want
and fear

relationship....giving into passion and desires, despite how one feels about the other....great visuals and use of language..flowed beautifully....

Keep Writing,
Carrie

"Quoth said the Raven, NEVERMORE"

the flat vortex with its blemish
the exchange
and histories

hate and love

its strong
an emotive drive
fresh and old

stringent and alive
gripping
and aching

I cannot walk away

not yet

author comment

love and hate
go hand in hand
so close
almost inseperable

hard to walk away
when the hate is
blinded by love
the aching
the yearning
for touch

Keep Writing,
Carrie

"Quoth said the Raven, NEVERMORE"

shredded skin
offers a comfort from
the fall of grace

deserved
revered reserved
held tightly to the breast

gasps
with the weight of wishes

to frail to bear the weight

our tree grows tall and deep
drinking from our frailty's

I have dropped the ball today
haunting pasts resurrection
on the wrong day
