waiting to cauterize.(a heart's bloody tale)
a frenzy
hurried into rushing,
only to wait
Oh, it's the waiting,
it tears at you
ripping it all open
from stem to stern
I watch —
as the flow trickles
languid
and
s l o w l y
traversing down my chest
my bloodied heart
so exposed
Yes, even then,
vulnerable and bleeding
a heart beats ~
waiting.....

ahhh, sometimes matters of the heart are terrifically bloody and gruesome. I love flowers (like, love love LOVE) they're a continual theme that I write about a lot, literally and metaphorically... however, sometimes, even if I wish everything was as pretty or smelled as sweet, life just isn't and doesn't. The bloody side is a part of my experience, for sure... that's just lil ol me.... lol
I love your thoughts and cherish your visits,Tim

Ohh Harry, I giggle at your enormous kindness!!
That's an extremely nice compliment, but I'm not even remotely... I can't even... hahaha.
You really made my day. My unworthiness in that compliment being beside the point, it really was just awfully sweet of you. Thank you my friend.
I appreciate your visit, that giggle and the list add too.
I hope you and your family are doing well. ☺

Dear NB,
YOU are an unknowing welcomed 'accomplice' to any improvement you may see in me, or my writing. It's (absolutely) poets like yourself and others that I constantly read and become inspired by, that have directly impacted me so deeply, affording me the opportunity to learn and hone my writing. *I tip my hat to you...
I appreciate you reading, the list add and your jaw dropping amazing comments.....

Much love and respect,
Blue

I wrote this to friends the other night,
I doubt there are many things more exquisite than being an artist, a rage of joy in it's creation, music of the all light pouring through me, where all things are power in the heart thrown wide, all loss, fear and pain are transformed from illusion to awakening. Art is an act of God.

Stunning and captivating work Blue. It's sort of had a Frida Kahlo-esque aspect in the descriptive and vivid imagery (as the picture compliments as well). We're drawn into the pain and emotion of it all, it's just spell binding.
Bravo.
Bravo.

Hee hee hee.. I giggle 🤭 at your ewww... love can be bloody, that's for sure! Your comments are perfectly scrumptious. I searched high and low for a picture that was reflective of what I saw in my mind and that was the closest thing I could find...
Ty for being 'ewwwed' (I love it) lol.. and for your lovely visit!

Well your hunting paid off. Every time I see written or hear the word scrumptious I think of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, my favorite boyhood movie that you're probably too young to have watched. I am glad you laughed at my EWWW...that was my intent😍

Re: Re. waiting to cauterize.(a heart's bloody tale)
I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at a drive in movie with my parents when I was a kid... sleeping bags and pillows in the back of my mom's station wagon... lmao

What a cool memory❣❣ Can't remember the last drive-in movie I saw. I'm glad you had the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang experience 😍 I wrote an erotic follow up to Mary Poppins maybe I should do ChiBang next 👅💦.

hopeful and genuinely generous.
It's next to impossible to find a kinship of any kind when you're sequestered away...
Someday, or when I least expect it... perhaps.
Ty for reading and your list add, Eli
Ohh how I feel your thoughtfulness right through to my own heart. It's just a gift, really.
Thank you

Anticipation. Need. Wanting, wanting, wanting so badly. Amazing visual. A heart exposed, so vulnerable, offering up everything - and yet, kept waiting.
Jesus.

... not wanting you to be beholden to commenting on this... me, leaving the link... was just my fucked up way to try and bring about another day of unexpected Blue.... also, to reaffirm that I am sincerely atune and YOURS, is a lasting impact. I plan to remain within the general vicinity of your orbit, if you're allowing...

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Your stlye of writing is what I aspire to. My writing is brutal and straight ahead. I want it to be pretttier - more creative. But every time I try that it SUCKS!
Your writing is passionate, powerful and..................creative. I love it.
I think the thread that runs between us is the passion - the intensity - the broken humanity. Connecting with another human being is hard - almost non-existant. But vital.
I think this is how we connect.
But, please - tell me if I am wrong. If I am missing something powerful and meaningful.
