Splatter

Taken from my journal written May 2005- combined with a short 4-line stanza written Oct 2005. Revised and titled May 2009.

Nightstand holds
Bouquet of flowers
Lying
4 AM’s the hour
Another tear
Attempts escape
But doesn’t
     Quite
         Remember

   How


Insomnia
Extreme exhaustion
Whatever your reaction
Proceed with caution

The feeling unnerving
Deep within your soul
Your belly laughs
It swallows you whole
Red in your womb
Blood roses in the glass
Every feeling
                    Over-whelming
            Grouping
  To an unsurmountable
 m          a          s          s

...All I can say is "wow."
This poem was chilling.
Amazing work, I look forward to reading more of your poetry.

I suspect that I should not touch
the subject matter. It sounds very
personal and intimate.

The writing is exquisite. Very well done.
Excellent poetry. I must read more of you.
THANK YOU !
