shrouded
Within
dense
shadowy
hallows
your eyes
fix
and lock
onto mine
recognition flares
a known
understanding
thoughts freeze
as does present time
entranced,
I must follow
as I feel you
usurp
all my inner
sorrow
a perfect
embrace
damn
that
steely
sinful grace
fingers,
tenderstrong
in their
gentle trace
of a
sad lonely
face;
one that
you praise as
being
far from
commonplace,
so say the words
from legions lips,
replacing
devout
insecurity's
shamed disgrace
we still—
speechlessness
settles
and
creates an
ease
between us
quiet
allows
loneliness
a chance
to fade - to degrade
as you
kiss away
such
vicious scars
of severe
self hate,
encasing
my soul
in your perfect
musked floral
spicy
onyx'd embrace
leaving us
shrouded
in roaring
silence
emotionally
sated
floating
drifting
into
deeply twined
devilish
devotion
where
shared hellish
pain
morphs
to
love—
fated

hahaha.... I gave it the ol' college try!! I am not a rhyming poet but I figured I'd try my hand.... Thanks so much for the kind words, Me! I really needed that encouragement, if only because I think that there's a big possibility that I might be hiding this one on the future .... Hmmm.... lol.....hopefully I can brave it!
You're awesome and I totally love the support!

Gotta give that dark side a chance to stretch it's legs... *wink.... Plus, I dusted off the old rhyming skills...(not that I have much of them!)...
I am heartened that you liked this offering, C. It means a lot to me to read those words of encouragement ....My self-conscious side, is a handful and screams out inadequacies sometimes Yeah ... She can be a real C... that's for sure...
haha... So the positive reinforcement, rocks my world, allowing me to shut her up.... for a little while, anyway.
Halloween fast approacheth, that makes me deliriously happy!
Much love and all my thanks for the list add, too!

Re: Re. shrouded
Ohhh my .. silly Blue 🙄.... Thanks so much for the clarification... Sometimes I need a little nugde.. to get my brain back in gear... derp!!
That's sooo very cool, Archie!! (about your acting makeup, sculpting skills, etc)
I am such a huge fan of this time of year, with Halloween being the 'Crown Jewel'... I often do my own make-up... self taught from the interwebs... lol I've gotten a few scattered compliments and I've scared a whole lotta folks.. so I think I'm possibly improving... lol.... It comes in handy for cosplay, too... (yes, , I'm a total nerd and proud of it!)
Glad you enjoyed the notes and my 'eek!'
Have a wonderful Fall season ahead!

There's a pulse moving through the write, quicksilver, a presence you feel beneath the surface, that brings the images from 2 to 3 dimensions, its the kind of thing I suppose you can teach, but teaching it is like learning to stand, walk, run and fly, it is a natural motion of beingness.

Re: Re. shrouded
Well, firstly— My smile is Cheshire-Cat-wide.... seeing and reading your return on my page, Daniel... Yay!! Yes, I am THAT delighted to see you and to have your uniquely poignant thoughts and insights to draw upon , once again. You always gave me such terrific ideas and constructive, useful inspiration, that I tried my best to apply; becoming a much better writer, for it. Needless to say, it's not only your killer talents as a poet that were missed but also your kind ways of outreach, extending friendship as well as sharing feedback. No one does that better!! So It's definitely exciting to see and to have a bit of that return!!
I am not a rhyming poet, so this isn't my my usual style or format of writing....However, me being me, I like try things out and test myself..... So I appreciate your thoughtful comments, the list add and I'm totally over the moon that you had this sense of dimensional pulsation that you were able to feel, just wow!! I aspire (hopefully)to reach that state of 'flying'.... finding my own natural motion.... (lovely analogy!)... which I believe that I'm still trying to solidify...
Much love and respect, my friend 🙏🏻

I tend to exercise economy in my writing when it comes to rhymes, alliterative mostly, for flow and more traditional end line rhymes perhaps for emphasis, perhaps at the end of the write, as a nod to the cyclic nature of things.
As I travel around, I sometimes feel a bit haunted by the fact that we are living in the world, cities, towns, homes, of those who've gone before us, back to the ashes and dust, we walk in their shoes and stand on the shoulders of their accomplishments. I try to let that shadow fall across my writing in various ways, little snatches of well known verse, little nods to the classics.

*sigh* I have no words. Quite simply, I did not think words could be this beautiful and leave me in a state of grace for just reading the words. There is such brutal honesty here in exposing hidden fears that are rendered invisible by yearning and love. My heart melts by the fire this builds in my soul.

Your comments are filled with such exquisite and unique praise, I am blown away by them, dearest poet. I don't feel deserving... I am truthful in all my humble gratitude, sent your way. Thank you for being so open, honest and kind. You honor me and I hope you really do know just how appreciative I am. I keep your thawed and exposed heart in safe poetic hands my dear..... *wink

it's within the deepest parts of myself that I tap into now....asking, begging release from the pain of incredible loss, a kindred spirit that haunts my thoughts, and still, I cannot shake... he clings to the very fabric of my tattered being.... just out of reach.... out of sight..... but never out of mind.... I am confounded 😖... *sigh
and I don't know what to do..... floundering it seems. Writing to myself, a new low....
