This poem appealed to my appreciaton of the darker side of life because of these four --and in my opinion-- critical lines:
"my lovely mess
whom ill kiss
despite bared teeth and
a feigned aloofness"
You handled the words very well, portraying something that felt incredibly honest. You accomplished a lot in a little amount of time. I felt like I was moving along with with the poem; Nice movement, well done.
you continue to be one of the most interesting and innovative poets here. More than a state of mind, just a touch beyond your consciousness. Well done...
jim : )
watch me unwind
winding down a
spiral of
sugar coated
loveliness
my lovely mess
Really good lines. The ending was superb! Thanks for the read.
Reading this causes a visceral reaction. Something inside catches on the ribs, holds and then finally, I breathe.
…it's not just a kiss
