Feet First

The shadows
girate,
with earthless
rhapsody
I'm wanting to
step off,
without fear
hope flowers.

The white cloak
kills expectation
of the womb,
a cruel wind
whips spinifex
into a frenzy
of dusty plumes.

The pearly shine
once gazed on
In awe and
wonderment,
now a reminder
at no time
did looking up
fix the fence

Her silvered
glow tempts all,
with broken
promises and
bled hearts,
a dusty cratered
deceiver,
her only glory ?
one small step
for a man
with a flag

I've lost hope
she was a bitch
two faced,
her darkside
never showing,
as I looked up
she devoured me
feet first.

this, but had to read it over a few times; trying to make sense of the "The white cloak killing expectation and a cruel wind whipping plumes of spinifex. The rest of it is sound and doesn't need explanation. Great to see you writing and so glad that you miss us! Love and higgest bugs, Gee.

is it hope itself you've lost faith in I hope not. I was always taught by my parents never to lose hope by my grandma that despair is the greatest sin. I hate to see people suffering but at least you are still writing darling. never let your voice be stifled thanks for sharing this dark beauty with me

My first impression is that the vertical form actually hinders the reader (at least This reader) from understanding the message. Of course being the under head that I am that should be no surprise lol

I was wondering how you were doing over there in Aussie land. Has been forever since I have been on this site and had I not gotten an email I would of never honestly remembered it. But then again, how could one forget. Hope you are well. It has been forever since I wrote anything. You still write so beautifully. Always have. Good day.
