I am

i have enjoyed my stay
in your reality
but i long to be home
alone, to hear my
own voice again

i am filled with
everything that
is not me
i need to wash
away all these
words that do
not belong to me

to hear my own
soft noise in
the still of the night
i am the only place
i have ever belonged

the quiet
corner of solitude
the grace of my strength
the ageless dreams
of my mind

i am the fairytale
a beautiful mess
in a sexy black dress
coming to save myself
the sun and moon
of my own damn
happily ever after

Oh so lovely your poetic utterance of desolations travail, like your silk skin , flaming red hair, and all the alluring mysteries of you, your own best friend, except of course for men like me who you do not know and have not yet met, who gravitate to your soul and can play you like a cello while they are played by you ecstatic ...Real or imagined thats how your poem touched me <3

your body is my aviary
and hot house of man eating plants
i run to your teeth
beautiful cleavers gleaming
i'm shivering with excitement
from your dragging bites

looks like you are posting this after a long abstention...a good reflective poem about trying to come to terms with yourself perhaps after a break up ...

Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem, yes I have been gone from this site for a long time. I didn't even remember having a account until I got a email. A break up, not really, it is more about taking control of my life and being my own prince charming.

"being my own prince" is a good way to reconcile with reality rather than be adversely affected by it...a great attitude. to make the best of what one has rather than rue about what is not....
