Shimmer
Shake my brain.
A blizzard of glitter,
twinkling thoughts of you,
shimmer insane.
Memory chooses euphoria,
in dismissal of pain.
Moments like warm sun,
sparkling on water.
The silent pleasures, roaring wild like fire.
I lay on your alter.
Cannot forget such devouring eyes.
Sparkling with pleasure
as you consume my soul's cries.
Shake my brain.
The aftermath.
Now a driving snow of shards of pain.
Distant distorted recall
of you moaning my name.
Now my name is a hot acid of blame.
Black slippery terror assaults my veins,
that clot with the excruciating truth.
I have lost you.
Severed.
Vanished.
Amputated.
Unaware the abyss shimmers too.

You just gouged out my eyes and my heart. You depict heartbreak and the lingering lust perfectly.
Time heals, but this type of pain always leaves an echo.

Hi! Thank you my friend. I was writing of an older heartbreak. Love is pain. And those memories of lust are brutal. I just tried to add imagination to the feelings.
Thank you for ALWAYS supporting me & may your new year be magic! ❤️

I enjoyed how you started the piece. The shimmer and how it morphs into
something else. The journey of it. How it can change into something else.
Well done:)

Hi! I don't know why but I feel like agony can shine or shimmer too, a painful light. And the poem surprised me the way it ended, it went in a totally different direction. Thank you for your input. AND have a spectacular new year!!!

Your reaction made this so worth writing. 😊 Thank you so very much.
I like that emotion is universal and with the right spice of imagination to convey it, someone may have their own visceral reaction.
You humble me.
I wish you an inspiring new year!

Dear D,
Excellent use of the shiny adjectives for the beginning of the love bits and then the blended ones for the end. Love hurts like a severe stab to the gut that won’t stop until the next time and you’ve expressed that so wonderfully. H🌷

Dear Debbie!
My heart breaks for you. I know exactly well how losing someone is painfully sad. You have expressed yourself so beautifully as always. Your poem definitely has universal appeal. My wish for you is that your heart doesn't hurt for long.

Hi Faith, thank you ever so much for your kindness. I wrote this based on an old, but obviously still aching heartbreak. I wanted to add my imagination in a way that made it universal to many people. I saw you posted, I'd love to read what you wrote.
And you have a magnificent new year, may the simple pleasures brighten your heart. ❤️

The way you took this from scalding fire to ice water dowsing the flames was incredible. So in tune with the emotion and the experience

Thank you, you def understand my sentiment. I wanted the fire to clash with the cold pain.
It's a curse and a gift being so in tune with emotion. Lol
Your comments are so uplifting, I appreciate that.
Happy, magical 2024!

Beyond the fire & ice of this, I'm also seeing crystallization into a beautiful thing...& then the shatter into sharp fragments. The levels at which you approached this are incredible

Thank you so very much.
I was very inspired by a poem Betty wrote.
I wanted to capture extremes of emotions.
Your feedback means the world.
AND - have a new year that shimmers with happiness.

Re. Shimmer
Shimmer and clot?! Yaaaasss betch! That is fucking stellar D-bear!
The beauty and light you used in the beginning giving way to such a hard, dark, ugly end was perfectly balanced.
I loved it. Beautiful expression of pain!

Re: Re. Shimmer
Thank you!! I think our messages crossed because that poem was inspired by your writing.
I want to try to capture those extremes of emotions you excel at. Your reaction was worth every wrench of my heart
I hope you are on the ledge of your dreams. Deep dive Betty. Reading you, makes me feel ALIVE. Happy magical 2024!
