~poisonous pain~
carried away on a tumultuous wind
keening sadness
pouring from my heart
*
planting seeds of dismay
lovely poppies
beautiful to look at
so toxic to the soul
*
anger the only cloak I own to cover my pain
I've become poisonous
my rage hemlock deadly when tasted
*
witness the rise and fall of my dark beauty
as it undulates and changes faces
masking a dull ache

Spectacular imagery and deeply expressed. A bit scary and sad but buzzing with inner strength. Like a warning sign on posted lands that you will be shot and devoured by guard dogs if you trespass on private property...

Take heart in the fact that there is strength in admitting weakness also. You are stronger than you think. And more beautiful in your soul than you believe. Let the poison bleed out. :)

I must agree that you are on a "rise and fall of my dark beauty,"
just hoping the fall, when it comes, will not be so severe that you
are unable to climb from that dark pit, in case you really want to.

I'm sober Jerry so there's that the craving I've expressed is just that no more..
this write is about grief and how I deal with it through anger..
love Brenda

Love this piece, dear Crim!
I could feel your pain and anger in these beautiful words! The imagery is very powerful!
Poppies... my favorite flowers :-)
Love, Duende

Fascinating work! You change personas and faces but the pain's still there. Still, you haven't lost one iota of your dark beauty Lady Crim.

"witness the rise and fall of my dark beauty

I love those lines. Many times I feel like I have to put on a mask for people.
Great write Crim

Brenda.. this is so brilliantly beautiful.. i love the contrast, between this and "Disturbed".. you're on a roll.. between the light and dark.. you can summon either at command.. that is a gift, lovely one.. and you're a goddess of both.. i love you!!
