The Red Sea of Darkened Memories
We parted ways
like Moses parted waves
it was instantaneous,
magic if you will.
I look for the crystal ball
the one that hides your face
one final glimpse, that's it
so that last fucked up memory can fade.
Seeing you as something other
than a monster in a closet gripping his pants
I need that,
perhaps.....

great tone and voice. but, this just my opinion, you can be more effective without curse words in poetry, I really do think so, but don't take that to heart, because can't nobody tell you how to write or express yourself. Noah or is it Moses, that parted the Red Sea. I think Noah just built a big ass boat. But it doesn't matter to me, I get the point.
lol....I like to swear and yeah..I need to change that to Moses..thanks for that! and thanks for reading

Love the melancholic heart of this poem, Nikki!

Equal parts Gary Larsen and Tim Burton. Fuck yeah, even your contempt tastes like whiskey and steak.

I love the thought of the monster gripping his underwear and feeling vulnerable. Serve the bastard right. BTW I too like cuss words in the right place. Sometimes nothing else will do!
Good 'un Nikki!
