A Poem by sea lily

i write for that
which cannot speak.
for my eyes, unwillingly seeing
for my soul
those little torn pieces
carried in their pockets.
their fingers smoothing over
rolling papers.
writing perhaps
for this gorged body
swelling outside its capacity
detestably female.
craving the empty, craving you
by default.
indulged through pages
of mixed experience.
deny me this and more
the simple but felt
the pleasure of characters
on a screen.
no portholes to your mind.
and i tell you all
whilst i can form the words
i was your lapse in judgment.

this is pretty much a WOW! Nicely done. Not often do people say for what they write, most often why. So a nice take on a slightly different perspective. Great flow of thought and emotion.
