Words

[upsetmyheart]

not a word,
not one.
please,
not even the vague mention
of arguments gone awry.
solid reminiscence...
undressed in your arms,
i witnessed an abhorrent pillar
knocked down.
so, 
not one word is welcome
this day.

i remember you
as you once were...
with a touch built
for mine;
fingertips
tracing frames of supple skin
forever at your mercy.
quaking
under your weight
and

You really could write a book of these ... you have an ability to reach across and touch with words. A gift. Thank you for letting me in to see it.

I really love:

i remember you

and

i was spread beneath you...
i heard them this time.

do you really think so? i...wow. i don't even know how to respond to that. really?! well, thank you so much. this day has been a taxing, utterly exhausting day. so many emotions, new and old, drudged up from places i forgot even existed. thank you so, so much.

[autumnsea]

Yes I really think so. I am drawn to writers who know what emotion is and can show it, let the reader taste it through each line, each part of the heart bleeding across a page.

{{{hugs}}}

I'm sorry your day has been so full as it has.

You're very welcome, Candi. :)

[upsetmyheart]

well, thank you. i cannot even tell you what your comments mean. i say this often, i know, but it's because it's true. i always sit back and look at what i wrote and wonder, does FEELING come across with this? or am i simply telling something...? it's so nice to hear you think it bleeds with emotion.

Your words are just golden, leaving me breathless every time. I could imagine reading hordes of your poems through the day, forming my emotions as I carelessly pass the time. You embodie how words can move people like mountains. I wish there was more I could say.

[stupastu]

Stu, i don't think you could have formed a better, more flattering (utterly undeserved!) compliment. i am...stronger at heart today because of your words. i hold you dear to my heart for how beautiful you are. a compliment from YOU on my writing is such a gift. holding my hand over my heart, I thank you.

man, i really do have a knack for being an airhead. that wasn't supposed to be anonymous either! i figured out that i hit "repond" from my email before logging in on lj. ha. i can't promise i won't keep doing that. meh. i just got back on here for the first time in a couple days (taking some time to be alone with my thoughts after tragedy) and i can't wait to read what you've posted since then...

I really like this one.
My favorite line: i needed tears
to allow words to mean
nothing.
they meant nothing.

Question: If you were to re-read something so emotion filled that you've written some time ago in the past, does it take you right back to that place? I can see how this could take you back. It's written with such emotion.

This is what stops me from re-reading some of what I write; it's too raw.

[upsetmyheart]

oh, absolutely. a poem, if from the heart, always does that for me. with this one, this refers to something from my past, and simply writing it opened it up again like a would never healed. sometimes, i wonder why i do that to myself, but then again, how would i ever understand how i feel if i didn't? it works it out for me, in a way. forces me to hurt, and tear up all i can, to allow for the healing to begin. yes, there are some writings i have, that pain me to even scan.

thank you for reading what i post on here, and giving me feedback. i do enjoy reading yours, and it's so good to hear compliments from someone who impresses me!

[upsetmyheart]

wow. really? you feel that way? this is such an awesome thing to hear. i...wow, liz, thank you. i haven't been on here in a few days, i hope to see something of yours...
