Alive?

Questioning the purging Ive been doing...

"I have a pulse"

 

That's a good answer,

right? To such a silly

question as

"How are you?"

 

"Im alive. I'm breathing.
Blood(okay, coffee) is still

going through these veins

that are rather tired"

 

What would you rather I say?

 

I do thank you. I really do.

I haven't wrote in ages, and ages

and moons....and then

I was silly, and found you,

when I should have backed

slowly away.

 

But

I like fire.

It warms,

burns,

scars.

Your memory on me

won't fade.

 

I know what it is

now. You don't care

to hear it  now..

oh, but yesterday,

the day before,

you were so very

curious.

 

And they say

women are the

fickle species...

you write with a beautiful sense of form that allows the reader to feell the heart of what is being expressed, this tells of memory and a lingering sadness, and what it takes to look toward a brighter future, romantic and soft.
truly you did an excellent job.

"Blood(okay, coffee) is still going through these veins" that gave me a little smile lol. I'm not a coffee drinker though :P I think that this poem could have multiple meanings... I might just have to read it again :) Good job, 100/100!

Like a moth to a flame... fire is such a good metaphor for love, isn't it?
My fave part is the last stanza: Oh, so true. I really dig your writing style. This is my favorite of yours so far. I'll be keeping an eye out for your work on here now :) Well done!

First off I loved that verse for reason I can't explain... another very intriguing piece, you leave the reader with many things to think about.

Proper grammar is, "I haven't written." Beware... I'm a grammar nazi. I will cover my screen in red ink and whiteout.
