it's been a while since ive written, but my entire perspective on life has changed due some pretty dramatic events... so hello again - here's a poem about a friend of mine who is very glum at the moment...


Scarf scruffled, ruffled through ridges
of my cracked calloused fingers
a witch friends' misery lingers in the corner
of a rain-slick bricked hallway
near the Doorway
leak morbid tears and lonesome fears
drenched with glum and the scum-scraped raw-raped
weight of mind. face-tragic Down
with jagged angry hands... arms spinning sulk-sagging
by her side - not dancing
glass cat-eye magic - and I miss her
- I miss her magic hands -
Shakespeare spouts in wooden cracked chairs now
and people stomp foul boots like rain
up the stairs and muffle our sound
I sit devoured with stories of a mothers
infrequent love; surfaced memories of grief
showered upon my pleading ears
for some relief ~ and her pleas fly into me
~like doves~ And men speak and bare their feet
and the gloomy girl sits sifting bare-footed
shifting words flipping pages whole with
wandering soul
dripping with a life-gifted
-lost- but centuries greater than the weighted shine of gold
Patiently I wait and wear my eyes low
prepare them for the tremendous glow that
always follows
a storm so great and cold.

you have such an elegant word choice. you can paint a beautiful portrait of even the saddest person. hopefully, you have shared this with her.

I'm glad you're back with your beautiful words.

Such haunting images:

people stomp foul boots like rain
up the stairs and muffle our sound

and her pleas fly into me
~like doves~ And men speak and bare their feet

And I love the ending:

Patiently I wait and wear my eyes low
prepare them for the tremendous glow that
always follows
a storm so great and cold.

Whoa... sweet.
I want to read a short story from you that's written in this exact style for 100 pages! I'm serious!

It's always good to read someone's work when it far excells my own style and skill. It makes me feel humble, weak, encouraged all at the same time.

Gracias!
