It Was Just Beyond my Fingers
A Poem by
KL
Eternally feeling you on the fleshy patterns on my fingertips,
an epochal sensation stemming millennia - only on human skin.
Not necessarily a physical nebula, but a knowledge in knowing
that your ferocious fire hangs off a starchain like a portrait.
Personal paralysis, blissfully bound to the bounds of bliss,
eyes unable to open but seeing everything anyways.
Obstinately oblivious to the flies crawling in and out of my mouth,
corpus consumed in my love of hell and divine devil spawn.
I, the human skin, forever feeling. Even though you literally live
over ten million miles above, han ging overhead like a stalactite
waiting to fall. Unlike a calcite deposit, however, you would estinguish
the world with a whisper in a universe no longer listening.
So here I sit, fabricated, body and mind moving consistently
forward in an orbit that I played no role in creating. Yet still.
Yet still I can feel your beaut iful breath on my fingertips, the
flies on my face, and everything e nsnared in your onslaught of colour.

Liked the aliteration in this - very effective. I found the first and third stanzas very powerful. A really amazing and engaging piece.

Amazing, my favorite lines are...
"Personal paralysis, blissfully bound to the bounds of bliss,
eyes unable to open but seeing everything anyways."
I love how the lines are kinda like the opposites of each other.

Your poetry always a pleasure to read. The language in your poetry made it necessary to read a few times. This poem is so beautiful. So many statements stood out. Complete poem is very good. I like the positive ending. A outstanding poem.
