Cut this hope from my heart
so that only love remains –
without crushing need
to hold;
to have.

Strip my world of want,
and let me breathe
through scar.

Empty my soul of blood
so that a word, mayhap,
cannot wound.

Catch my passion
as it dries;
as it dies.

Pain...

...like this doesn't sigh, it screams. In the right hands those screams are fuel for art. Apparently your hands are the right hands. A very powerful write.

Deadly limits to love

The second strophe-- especially hard-hitting.

Exquisite ex sighs...

of both pain and poetry were expressed here. Imp, you have a way with your words that cut straight down to the marrow of the bone before we realize we're bleeding! As per your usual, an emotionally wretching piece flowed from your pen. Superb job! <smile>

wow

that one hit me hard!

It's amazing how much

beauty can come from

so much pain.

Great work,

thanks.

This one....

is the best...not that the others sucked but the sheer symplicity captures the bigger picture.

I didn't have the heart to bomb it...it's too good.

I'll wait to bomb your next story before the other trolls do.

why does pain...

...make for such beauty? Because we have to get this out of us before it eats our hearts to dwindled nubs that fetally quiver when touched...pity those who can't let it out. I do.

*Sigh

Your poetry is like a hand that reaches in and grabs at my inner being. You words always touch me. Great job, Imp
