you said you did-

held behind eyes

kept close- held shut-

 

that speak of the heart

and speak of nothing but...

 

nicotine stains from tainted lips 

smoke rolled filter fingertips-

 

boose bought

poured liquor shots

poison sweet-

forgotten nots

 

but behind these eyes hold that place

trade truth for thoughts that you replace

 

you do-

and I smile because I know

release- escape-

let go...

 

walk my dear, I'll step aside-

repeat, repeat nomore!

 

endless are the boundries

stretched further than before

 

I've fallen but...

grip tight- hold fast-

battle the fight of the unsurpassed

 

nails dug in kicking- screaming

continue the dream

that keeps on dreaming

 

then be brought to solid ground

circle back and come around

 

spew the words that do exist

touched by night

you are wind kissed-

 

to the edge of eternity

the blatant overcame the obscurity

 

captured in your own dimension

moments held in pure retention

 

do you know...

matter of fact you don't

 

you said you did-

but in truth..you won't!

You paint such a vivid scene that mind's eye enjoyed losing itself in. You took me to a place where the scene you displayed was all that I could see. I loved the way this piece flowed so seamless and purposeful. Give enough to allow it to be seen perfectly clear and leaving enough out to allow our imagination to take flight of it own. You have a wonderful gift for placing details and images that can be seen so beautifully by a reader. I think you have a wonderful style of writing.

wow, simply beautifully scribed with passion,
my first impressions were this, just breathtaking
in this sense, the overwhelming eloquence,
the spellbound, lost enchantment, you really
have a great way with emotional impressions,
the desirious tone defines this piece, poetical
in essence, reflects the heart in meaning, take care, mike
