A cluster of light drenches in breathless vapors

A spirit cries in anger when the brain twitches lifeless
fingers lingering, quivering, in a shank of blackness
A sleepy affair that's mistaken to be gravely inclined
hope slides away for the soulfully undermined

Fear sinks into the uncanny...

Eyes without a soul --- just a penetrating hole
the landscaping thieves; what's familiar is seized
In disquieting moments left to contemplate
how a newly sobering reality inebbriates

Wintry blizzards of angst...

Hawking in miserly fashion, the lull is platonically undressing
casually smitten, it's valor probes; strategically caressing
Eavesdropping in hushes that favours the uncouth
warily driven; we're conversing knee-deep in the truth

Collapsing in radiant exposure, it falls; bedridden...

A flash in the pan for all that's sold, lies marry fact when the story unfolds
misguided; one's inclined to brag, struck red-faced when the cat's out the bag
Spurned by action, then minus the motion that time has elapsed
still sheepishly divided in notions that the future has grasped

With exquisite strokes; paint the sky slain with dawn.

It's good to see you again Scorp..I've missed your work..utterly-

I had barely time enough to breath while reading this..(the pain)
..and when I did, it wasn't long before the wind was knocked out of me.
Your both appreciated and admired by many here Scorp.. I hope you can find at least, some solace in that.

very moving, your words.. just as I remember-

B

A very complex and intreguing write. I'm not sure I understand it all. It has a rather primal tone to it.emotionally...dealing with relationship, anger and perhaps loss. The imagery and wording is very potent. The title is top shelf, very good.

A beautifully crafted poem, Scorp

Will, I don't know where I've been, bur havent seen you on line for awhile. IT's good to read your work again.

How refreshing and long awaited to see another Scorperiffic poem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Scorpenator ! ! ! ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Not quite sure what it all means but can definitely feel some powerful emotion / metaphors there. Seems there was some apprehension, hurt, and betrayal goin' on.

I'll read it again and again because my mind has been a bit overwhelmed and/or numb as of late so my comprehension hasn't been at it's best but I do know that I thoroughly enjoyed despite my lack of cranium function.


the lull is platonically undressing Awesome line!

TIMber
:-)

Dear Scorpy~

First let me say WELCOME HOME!!! lol

I have dearly missed your writes, [and your companionship].
Glad to have you around again.

Now . . . this write initiates thought as to just where your
mind has been these past few months. I can't put my
finger on just what emotion this piece invokes in me.

I find it somewhat sad, and yet not; somewhat strong,
and yet not; somewhat accusatory, and yet . .. not.
Whatever it IS, it is filled with an introspection
that leaves me comtemplaing.. the last stanza
especially demands a clear attention!!

Nice to see you never stopped writing and you still
have an amazing gift for expression. I loved this.

~Breezy

I am sorry that you had such a rough time if that is what this reveals. I am also glad that (if) it also reveals the uncertainty that you had in returning here, I for one (among many) am glad, no, ELATED that you chose to come back.
You have been sorely missed.
