Since I'm on my phone I couldn't listen to Evanescence while reading this. You're painting in dark tones today my friend. Sending you butterflies to carry you to that beach Nirvana for some positive restoration. This poem packs an emotional punch... another signature piece. :-)

You say the nicest things Marc, I love that notion 'burst like a volcano'....! Thanks so much :-)
A very original and novel choice of words to convey anger and rage at past injustice. I could see just scarlet and black. The last line is gripping! Great!

Such sweet words coming from you dear friend, much appreciated...x
Whenever I see the word skin and ink near each other I think Tattoos so I got an image of a bloody black orchid tattoo in my head from this, which is a good thing.
we seem to think alike frieda =P "screaming silence" was inspired by this very song!
you bend the idea of darkness around your pen with such grace it makes me want cry with jealousy (compliment!)
anyways i love you imagery, its stunning, flawless, godly... drat ! I'm running out of synonyms
A black orchid placed upon the heart
pricks the skin darkly
bleeding it somber shades of inky sorrow
that stanza caught my eye and slowly glued it to the screen. i love the way you make such darkness seem so beautiful and euphoric.
"overcome by the sweetness of sad lullaby's proffer
it's siren call to sleep"
that line is pure money, love it 100%
sorry for the rant =/

What rant Roshan, that was music to my ears! Humbled by your review, this one is close to my heart,.. read moreWhat rant Roshan, that was music to my ears! Humbled by your review, this one is close to my heart, thrilled that you enjoyed it. Many thanks!
This, right here, is Edgar level writing. I particularly admire your longing for retribution as a justification to harm inflicted, only to dance with death and never have inflicted pain at all.

Woo, that made my day, if not my entire week, thanks so much Tai!
If you want to know me, read my poetry, it's all in there. I am a mother of three sons (my finest moments) a sister, a survivor and a little bit crazy. I lost my beloved sister to suicide, so you'll.. more..
