Sui Generis
Sui generis she is, and as I watched her,
my cruel amans, riding her salacious
pirouette of grace and sin,
I knew the esse of just one
finespun tear must be exquisite
upon the tongues of Gods.
I wept as the green river snatched away
the sky’s obsidian ink.
She's so arrogant when she wears black.
She tore me shut and I’m drenched
in this night, and in her
and I don't even know her name,
but she says she knows mine .....
and If my weary legs
might still carry the weight of my breath,
I will stand as she calls it.

Very perceptive of you Timagination;
for them, about them, with them....
Maybe all of the above.
Your comment is the perfect example of why I
enjoy hearing other's thoughts and opinions. I just love the fact
that the same poem can be looked at from so many different angles
and provoke so many unique view points.
Thank you for adding just a little more depth with your kind comment...

That's a Helluva a pull she has
That you would allow her voice to bring you forward on exhausted limbs
I can definitely feel the draw
I love ink that makes me feel
Thank you

“I knew the esse of just one

Phrases like this are what keep me interested in poetry,
this one phrase is better than whole poems I’ve written

These are the things that inspire us to write
and that in itself is such a big compliment. Thank you for sharing it.
I enjoy the hunt for that perfect word
And the perfect place to put it.
I find myself searching words with similar meanings
for something that inspires me and build on it from there. It really helps me find new and more descriptive ways of saying things. You’ll get there, just keep writing and don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re not as good, it’s a learning experience!
