A mix of emotions taking its last breath. - 21st December 2010.


Internal bleed.

I've contrived from another place,
And I just want to know your face.
A parody of my final words,
When I turn to leave.

Internally bleeding feeling,
Embrace my only please,
For then I can internally heal,
A sunset shall freeze.

I dissapear and re-arrange,
Yet still think that I am strange,
The liberty of my final breath,
When I run and hide.

Internally bleeding feeling,
Embrace my only fire,
For then I can internally heal,
And focus on the dire.

I've prized open countless times,
Falling blossoms of different kinds,
The angst of my final turn,
When I've crossed the line.

Internally bleeding feeling,
Embrace my only find.
For then I can internally heal,
And put this all behind.

Expressing in words the subtlety of emotional feelings is always a challenge. For me, this meets that challenge very well indeed. Enjoyed the read.

I echo the comments of "your heart is mine" that fifth stanza is sublime.

The world must RESPECT you as a writer/poet!
.....I've prized open countless times,
Fallen blossoms of different kinds
The angst of my final turn
When I've crossed the line...

If the isn't genius then the law of gravitation is a lie!
Press on and never stop, keep pen in hand forever.
