Dig deep down into the dead earth
Find it cryptic amongst the leaves
Beautiful and destructive
And complete of worth.

Singled out and hard for cash
Listen inattentively and smile for me
Fingers through split ends of hair
Vanishing beautifully would never fit me.

Scratch out all the extensive words
Picture perfect because it hurts
Live the life you want to lead
See through all that’s dead to me.

Kiss me softly and take my breath
Stare heatedly and let me be
Pick me up when I can no longer walk
Destroy something beautiful with me.

A very contrasting piece- a bit of tenderness mingled with a vision of disdain and anger. There is so much going on here emotionally, it'd take far more room than this to analyse it all. Very strong write, with a style all it's own.

Truly,
-V.S.

There are so many mixed emotions and feelings within this, contrasted with a gentleness and written with such eloquence a found myself captivated from start to finish, and discovered myself begging for it to carry on, another pure joy to read, also may one comment on your style, it, like the poem is captivating within itself, i could read your work for hours and still be in as much awe, maybe more as when i began reading.

I liked the concept of contradiction that you portrayed so well here - "Destroy something beautiful with me" is the best line to me. Beautiful poem here, well done!

Whoa . . . just, whoa.

Seriously impressive. I came upon this because the title piqued my curiosity and I was drawn in from the first line.

Nice.
