Nothings a given

shattered by the violence in your darkly silent eyes

swallowed that bitterly taste of disappointment 

and then some.

smashed my heart on salt rocks 

wrung out of emotion just short of numb

No doubt the way I want to go 

I'm not facing the same direction 

insurrection was my only hope for destruction 

stood up and took the beating 

clawed my way through ill logic 

hung in for that toe to toe pound 

made the bed and lay in it 

tore the sheets looking for love

and still your heart could not be found.

ssmoothie...you really are one of my favorite poets on this site. your writing is intense with emotion, full of imagery, flares with your personality, and you never hold back...you give it your all and it's no wonder you're a published poetess. life may not be easy or easy to express, but in your poetry it make it look/sound effortlessly and can't help, but marvel in such talent.

We created time, and we say

We created time, and we say we waste it, but really I do think more that "time doth waste us".
