I keep myself in the dark,
- because as long as I'm blind
- I can't see my heart break.
I'm just fine.
Literature
Reddist
Before you, there were women
with full breasts,
breasts with perk tips and beneath them:
hips wide as my hand spread,
but never love.
Athenas before you,
my eyes only followed the apples;
and then, suddenly:
A wild brook unleashed
and I never knew I was a basin
meant to be filled.
A woman sewn
from the smile of Coyote,
from the same hands that bent time
and created life for a laugh-
Apples became
the sweetest fruit; be my reddist-
I will love you madder
than a hatter and brasher than a miner.
Wilder for a gypsy.

Scratches
we're dancing in that narrow expanse where the only sound
is the contraction of a writhing unwilling heart;
we're finding our way back to the surface through
layers like paper ceilings and puppet strings

Your writing is so pretty and this is so easy to relate to! I haven't written much in a while, but this ended up popping into my head after I read your poem:
But then dawn interrupts and I am made aware,
that although I tried to lie, my feelings were still there
Ever present in my being, but not welcome there at all
No matter how hard I try, I just can't prevent the fall
sometimes, after denying it... the realization only hits that much harder...
but onto a positive note, acceptance and learning and growth and all that jazz comes after, so... silver lining!!!
Your poem is absolutely perfect though... just a few lines but they capture such strong emotions...
you, madame, have a way with words
