Crimsin Tides
I have a fault you see
always going after
the emotionally unavailable
it's like I crave rejection
the masochist in me
longs for a beating
it's a weakness
then I lash out
for getting what I asked for
my vulnerable side emerging
I wrap my arms around me
holding the pain in
I cry but my tears
stay frozen inside
never to grace my cheeks
a salty kiss
releasing all I hold tight to
never to be realized
I stand stoic
as stone
though I crumble
just like a little girl
the slightest breeze
sends me tumbling over the edge
I prefer Crimsin she is dark
taking names and kicking ass
though she leaves me lonely at times
feeling naked without her
she is my dominant voice
my protector
when things get too tough
my voice when I'm afraid to speak
I love her knowing she is street wise
her forked tongue licking the minds
of the poets here
reveling in their poetic hot spots
as I write this she is emerging
not a split personality
an alter ego
that doesn't give a fuck
what anyone thinks
though she is only half of me
I'm quite soft in my core
tearing easily if handled too rough
grateful for all of you
who embrace and love
all sides of me
today I'm a hint of Crimsin
tomorrow who knows
she may kick in the doors
of your mind and blow you away

Ms Brenda, enjoyed this revealing this write about yourself in your own words. You reveal the many sides of yourself daily through your writings. That why I have said that you are a beautiful and complex mind. This reinforces what you pour out each and every time you write.
Thankful for having the opportunity to get to know you.

A very honest open piece Crim...revealing and vulnerable...blood shall gather into hand blood; her dark wings shrouding the truth of innocence...longing; crimson shall coat her tongue for the flavor of the wicked satisfies not her hunger; instead rage consumes; for only the innocent man; untainted leaving the taste of truth in her mouth shall stand unscathed in the fury

Nor do I see any reason for an extreme content label on your piece dear...other than a few swear words

I'm always delighted to see your tenderness Brenda. But I also love the mighty Crimsin, who supplies back up to you and thrills to the general population. This is an amazing self-portrait of both your sides, light and dark. The tide's coming in...............

Wow, I identify with this piece all too closely. So often when I read your more personal pieces like this, I think to myself, "Did I write this...???" it's so close to how I feel and think. The first stanza was like a kick in the teeth to me.
I particularly love
"I stand stoic
as stone
though I crumble"
Lovely piece, my dear! <3

"I cry but my tears
stay frozen inside
never to grace my cheeks". Breathtaking reveal. Love the picture too, embracing and awaiting the thrill from all sides of the poet. My greedy thoughts devour this, blue angel
