Final Fight

...and tender. Not a blemish on its record. Freely dances in the minds eye. Respect.

Thank you! :)

"terrifying and glittering"... "dazed by our lavish failure"... the end of a serious romance often leads to that "stunned silence" where you're able to be "Together, at that moment"... you've set the ending up so well. your last line is perfect... "we could almost be friends." once again, i am very impressed. i hope you put a book together someday. consider this my pre-order. i would definitely buy a copy. keep on doing what you do...

You stole my mind. In addition to all you have said, I ask: Do you realize in the poem, how two lovers fought themselves down to becoming almost friends? The poetess has done so well.

Thanks for the kind words. :)

This is deep, sad touching crafty: the sun, day break, tired lovers after their quarrel/fight and how it sadly ends...
"dazed by our lavish failure,
we could almost be friends."

It is just one of those poems that hits the reader like a punch. Like Hemihead said, 'it freely dances in the mind's eye'

Lauren your craftsmanship with words is thus established.

"Bomb" threw me off for a second there, Divine, ha ha. Thank you very much for the comment. :)

Sorry about the 'BOMB.' It was your poem that first threw me off balance. Cheers.

i like the way you put your material together.  I have nothing profound, witty or cool to say, I just like your work.

And you don't have to say anything profound, witty, or cool~just the fact that you like my work means a lot to me. Thank you for commenting.

Sometimes friendship is the biggest build two people can undertake. Way relatable write, Lauren. Thanks for releasing this!
