To her, your incisive blame
For visible consequences
Carved on her flesh by disease
Obviously, she surely desired
Losing her hair long ago cherished,
Or wearing-enduring a dark beard
You can't imagine, living this extra or lack
You are certain, yes, she must have wanted
And grow it up to keep it at her back.

You never feel any shame
Pointing your mocking finger
Instead of some nice or tender
If you had, heart or mind
Any thing of (that) kind.
NO, you're ironic laughter
Is certainly better help(h)er
A sharp knife to erase
This little sparkle in her eyes.

It's always-ever the same
You shoot straight her heart
She ought to forgive the dart
Don't you hear in her silence
Her praise for disappearance
"Please, stop your invisible arrow,
It reaches me before I foresaw
You sent them, your rant's your bow"
Yes, please, World, forget I'm different
Agree me to be part of the round
Where each shoe has its foot.

~ what an awesome message you gift us, and the world, dear Mireille

I love this poem because it speaks to me and for me...
and I just know that it will touch anyone who reads it...
I'm coming back to this one for sure

Well, I guess it's easier and more intense delivery when the message is meant and truly lived.

Your words touched me, Sash, thank you.

Mir,

I enjoy your voice always.
You don't dance around things.
Instead you go right at the core
of what you are after and express
yourself quite often profoundly.

I love the close here. It keeps
the reader in the poem after the
readings done.

thanks,
andy

Well they're my thoughts and I don't see any reason I don't express them, plus, they're my personal scream, my release.
And if the reader keeps in mind these words, I'm truly glad.


Thank you so so very much dear.

Oh my, what a mind blowing poem Mimi,
reading this is a lead filled stomache
and water over head for too long, breathless.
A most powerful piece.
