Uncut

A soft image satisfies the deepest sea
found in your eyes
recognized as comfort.
Harmony makes a new wind flow lovingly
into the arms
of old wounds suffered.  

Measured out our shores bend
to meet in passion
to taste time’s recurrent goals.
Lighted I talk with my hands
to find balance
shimmering within my soul.

Scenes pass by of places with nowhere to go,
sailing as tributes tired of singing chords
without gain.
Still, I smile magically as if I am bound
to live life uncut
yet emptied of all pain.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

As a huge fan of your work Neva, you know I am above all honest in what I review,

"Measured out our shores bend
to meet in passion
to taste time’s recurrent goals.
Lighted I talk with my hands
to find balance
shimmering within my soul. "

This stanze screamed at me, it encompasses the mere taste of human companionship and the reluctance to let go of sexual and loving affairs, well done, great read!

found in your eyes"

[Larry Dyson]

hmmm searching for balance to "continue"at least to tread water and exist..and per chance to dream of More?...not yet.. to open those wounds is to hurt..more than the pain I can endure...SO no cutting....

[Kenneth The Poet]

Simply brilliant.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This was a campaign of relentless imagery.
A million thoughts ran through my mind.
What beautiful work. This is art that left
me feeling torn...between a rock and a hard place.

"Harmony makes a new wind flow lovingly
into the arms
of old wounds suffered."
