like the wind.
run
as if thine own feet wing'ed and lighter than this heady wicked air
run
as fast as a blue leopardess in all her ferocious steady stare
run
from toxins, that sear and singe upon once tender, now burning flesh
run
in an ardent purpose driven by a claimed honor all but repossessed
run
as drops of curdled blood pulse from eyes that blur with tortured sting
run
as reddened sputum streams out a mouth which once, such glory sing
run
with a chest exploding in implosion of all truths eroding
run
so... far ....... far... away from here, where the pain of excruciate
no longer reverberates so crystal clear

I will think about, Tim.
No worries, I'll be ok
just need a break...
albeit I didn't plan on it being like this...
You're a very kind person who's genuine decency is rare and just so fucking lovely. Thank you wholeheartedly for that.

I'm clearly out of the loop since I've been sporadic for a while... which seems like it might be a good thing. Was sad to see poems I love disappear from my reading list, though. Man, this place is an ever-moving target.
I enjoy your writing even when I'm not saying much. Wishing you grace & peace.

"Have you seen the land living by the breeze
Can you understand a light among the trees
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Tell us all today
If you know the way to blue?"

beautiful Blue such a heavy beautifully written poem there is so much of this everywhere
toxins spewed by people... I find myself releasing them here my darker stuff
because I just plain have nowhere else I can... with hopes people know they really aren't for them...
they are just the thoughts that crowd it sometimes... there is nowhere to run from them sadly...
great write 💕

Re: Re. like the wind.
I more than understand those crowding thoughts as well. Sometimes, even real non metaphorical running helps with that, too.
I'm so appreciative! Your supportive words and kind actions of reaching out, leave me a very lucky Blue and I am listening and taking it all in....
Enjoy your evening and Happy Solstice along with Season's Greetings for the new year!

You bring the power with this Passionate write Bluevelvete! I am oblivious to what is happening here but when I lost you from my favorites list of poets?????????....... Know this beautiful poetess you can run forever but I will never get Tired of your amazing poetry. I just wish I could ''Jog'' your memory of the love and support you have from the DUP fellowship. I truly hope that your hurt did not come from another DUP member? And if so Blue, ''please run to me and I will steer you clear from the ''psycho path''! LOL. You got sklillz BV!

Dear BV,
Wind in my hair, skin glistening, taught muscles. Yeah, that’s not a description of me. The idea of running from anything let alone my problems remains a fantasy. If only...heavy sigh...
If I actually had words that would be remotely helpful I’d use them now. I’ll stick with an understanding smile and a virtuoso hug instead. What I would like to mention is the formatting of your write, while I’m terribly sorry about the subject of it, the set up is very clever. There is an intense motion to it as though I’m running as I read it. It is with relief you are back on site. I wish you greetings of the season and truly hope for a wonderful 2021. H🌷

Dearest H,
I take your smile and hug with open arms!
Thank you so much for all your tremendously awesome support and encouragement. I DID NOT intend to cause silly drama nor worry anyone needlessly. In all honesty, I did not think anyone would notice my deactivated status and in my error, I find myself utterly humbled like never before, reflecting on just how very lucky I am to have a community of caring, kind and compassionate souls. Your comments always bring out my laughter and even when you don't say it, I feel that virtuoso hug every time I see your post on my page.
My appreciation is all yours.
Have a wonderful Holiday,
... and a peace filled prosperous New Year.
💜

Susan, check out the reply I made to Elias comment under my new write. I feel like you adroitly utilized the same techniques I am experimenting with from my reading of Ginsberg, however the charge and vivid language here has the magic one might expect perhaps of Lewis Carroll. It was a terrific experience to read.

Stellar work. It really does deserve an entry in the December POM. I like how you titled this and ran each line so differently and yet with a powerful purpose.
Excellent work.
