A Poem by Abby

-

"
hold your elbows
solar plexus safe from the full wind
blowing across a chest of skimpy perfection,
n*****s, white skin, tanned shoulders..

kiss, kiss
fist, fist

massage the mind - 
he left her full of empty touch...stories
that meant home
his experience began to sound like only words
detached from the real danger of 
the woods, lonely desire, forgotten,
he loved describing the escape,
his truth buried, altered by dreams,
perception..

I wish we were clean, whole, and honest.
thinking is often clouded by expectation -- limited by the laws
of your little voices. limited by
the eyes of him, her, them, it...me & you,
an ill fated two ... I am so sorry for the
turbulent sex, wanting so much
to fulfill imagination
creating a painfully fake sensation.

pull, grab, breathe - heavy sighs,
grazed by tantalizing lips, 
afraid of the electric delusion -- 
it is oozing lava, soon molten, sold at
the local toy shop for a child's rock collection.

a frozen fire, separate from her creator.

I can't give much editing tips outside of two things: I believe the proper spelling of the word 'breath' is 'breathe' in that instance. The other thing, and this is more of a technical note; the only capitalized word you included is I. If you want to break from convention you might also consider making I as lower case... I happen to like it the way it is however. It makes me more sensitive to the perspective of the speaker. In any case, I had just been explaining to my friend how much bad poetry is on the internet. It's so nice to take a long break and return to something enjoyable. Well done!
