Eve's Rotten Apple
I've taken my knife
filleting my skin
bleeding for you on the page
I've exposed myself in public
then searched for a cloak
to cover my nakedness
though once it's out there
there is no covering for my shame
just the ugly truth
like a rotten apple plucked from
the tree full of worms
once eaten they take hold of your belly
make their way to your brain
taking hold like a parasite
wrapping around your cerebellum
enshrouding your every thought
I wish I could cover my raw thoughts
though there is no hope for it now
what is spoken in the dark
will reveal it's self in the light
or so I've been told
filleting my skin
bleeding for you on the page
I've exposed myself in public
then searched for a cloak
to cover my nakedness

there is no covering for my shame

the tree full of worms
once eaten they take hold of your belly
make their way to your brain
taking hold like a parasite
wrapping around your cerebellum
enshrouding your every thought

what is spoken in the dark
will reveal it's self in the light
or so I've been told
here I knitted this
cloak, laced with
the good from me
now take my hand
your soul is not rotten
merely bruised
here take my hand
dancing with our demons
on this night
reborn in the new light
Bob said it best
my friend
The Times They Are a Changing
will reveal it's self in the light
or so I've been told
here I knitted this
cloak, laced with
the good from me
now take my hand
your soul is not rotten
merely bruised
here take my hand
dancing with our demons
on this night
reborn in the new light

We may think that we approach the light, but the light knows better, and we may think that the light is judgment, but the light of the light itself does not condemn, or else it would not be unconditioned.

You have a wonderfully raw mind/writing ability,
your words always take me somewhere else.
Somewhere dark, revealing, insightful.
Thank you, Crim.

Those rotten apples distort our view, as our senses slowly meander down the dark alley. As we begin to wake from the haze we see the healing begin as we bare our soul. Honored to know such a tender one under the scars of hurt.
Such depth and revelation you steadily share through your words... always touching my core.
