*the real me*

Brenda ... instead of a comment would you instead please accept this poetic hug? ...

`arms wrap around
the frail of your frailty ...
these are the hours
when you need to be pulled
close;
heart against heart
so that yours doesn't
beat alone`

I love you, Lady ... always your friend, Devlin.

hugs you back tightly thank you my Queen I love you..

Love that you use vulnerability and bare in one sentence as well... that's the key for showing someone "the real me"

I love your use of words.  Stuff like "cerebellum".  Just good stuff.  I feel the emotion here.  Good write.

thank you for feeling me..

love Crim

deep dark gritty poetry,
the final stanza stands alone;
a story colored in tattoos, carved in permanent.

the streets are still the same, Crim...

My Beautiful Brenda, I will say you do capture emotions with such talent within these words...as always...and to a few lines, I shall reply on a personal level...

"uncovered sensitive spots    
will you touch me    
or turn away?"
~ I will always touch, no matter the circumstance
*
"vulnerability a thin covering    
see me bare    
i'm hurt      
I reach for you    
you're not to be found"
~ you speak for many here, including myself, it brings me smiles to know whenever I have reached for you, hands have been met to clasp fingers and I will be forever grateful for that, for you.

I love you so much lady...I am hugging you tightly and kissing you deeply.

I got a lump in my throat!
My lovely Brenda, I see your strength,.... I see the real you..... and you are gorgeous! xo

"I'm a whore      
weathered a rough life    
not a high end call girl    
the streets were my home    
if you listen closely    
head to the pavement    
you will hear my heartbeat "<--- Wow! That was heavy!


   
     

thank you lovely Rain for showing me and this write some love..

xo Brenda

I always love your honesty and vulnerability Crim.  Still, you come up with some remarkably tough and memorable lines:

"I'm a whore      
weathered a rough life    
not a high end call girl    
the streets were my home    
if you listen closely    
head to the pavement    
you will hear my heartbeat"

The real you, and really beautiful Lady Crim.  

thank you Sir Crow for feeling me on this write..
