wash me

wash me of impurity
[of this sadness
deep inside of me].

touch my hands
with the delicacy of doves
then light upon my fingertips
with the grace of shadowed love.

the whisper of your wind
-so gentle on my mind-
wraps around my memory
and throws me in
to clarity.

I wash myself of you
with the softness of time.
I feel it filter through my hands
and fall to the earth
(absorb into the ground).

I never knew such pain
until you
came around.

A well versed expression of pain and your determination to be released from it.

I wash myself of you
with the softness of time.

and fall to the earth
(absorb into the ground).

I really love this part as you take that pain and bury it in the dirt where the soul of someone so cruel should be anyways cause they don't deserve to share the same air with a precious flower like you.

You moved me with your words. Like an artist, your canvas was painted in a way that truely captures the eyes of the holder.

I love the part.... 'the whisper of your wind-so gentle on my mind- wraps around my memory and throws me in clarity."

5 Stars.

Ok so far I have read two of your pieces and they are both outstanding. Truly you have a way with expressing those innermost feelings, letting the reader feel them and find simialar feeling within themselves.

[Maggie Smith]

Very powerful and raw yet filled with emotion. I could feel the message in the lines and it moved me to tears.

interestingly enough, my favorite part of this poem is the run on line "in/to". It tripped me up at first, because it started me off with the implied image of being out of control, where the idea of clarity brings with it the opposite sense. The second time, reading it as "into", it became understandable, and the surprise of lucidity was all the more striking for it.
