The disposition of my multiplicity

aphoristic in the dewdrop of words

comparable to tar

compose poetry in the corners of my gaze

devouring gloom

until I phospherece

and radiance becomes crystalline in my pores

magenta and alabaster berry drops

painting roses on my choking vines

no sword could rend asunder

for they are the ribbons

that hold my paper skin in place

and the thorns

are the crown

that keep my nightmares

from flooding the world

firstly - Awesome, and by that I mean full of awe.
Love the image of crystaline radiance in your pores. That line alone was worth the price of admission!
Some poems make me soar with joy, others cry at the pain. There is definitely some pain behind this, but the imagery lifts this piece to one that needs to be savored. It's like a small child peaking out behind the back of your older self showing the pain on her face. We have to look because she is so beautiful, but we wish we could take that pain away.

ah the imagery!! the surreal realtor strikes again! lol "compose poetry in the corners of my gaze" - what an image - and then the colour plays - the alabaster berry drops - the ribbons holding paper skin together - the crown of thorns keeping nightmares at bay though may be a source of many a nightmare - "dewdrop of words" - it's the way you express things that makes us all sit in awe! nice, nice, nice!! I think I favourite all of your poems but meh!

So, is this why they locked Sleeping Beauty into her tower gaurded by wicked roses? To keep the world safe from her nightmares :o) I love that closing image. Marvelous wordcrafting, my friend! :o)
