Stained

a poem behind the painting

 

 

 

 

I am stained
I am in pain

The look in her eyes
The sound of her voice

The taste of her lips

The scent of her skin
The warmth of her hug

 

Memories

Do not leave me

 

Breathless

The poem has a formal quality that we attribute to stained glass as it is used in church architecture. Even the way the poem is laid out suggest a figure, cruciform perhaps, that is, stoically, enduring great pain in, presumably, the wake of a relationship. There is a great economy of language and I particularly like the way the word 'breathless' hangs at the end of the poem in ambiguous relationship to the rest of the piece.

Now that's the 5 senses all in one, clever pieces and very emotional.

Splendid read and write, Sir Pax. Can only imagine the heartache felt in your words

Come again, another day! Just kidding:) Keeping on hiding behind her shadow is a choice and you know damn well how to get away from it as you are the only person who knew yourself too well. I trust you are well oriented about balance. It's like how an antidote works. Just make sure to remedy those stains else you're gonna die of tetanus, lol. Kidding again:)

Spontaneous and honest as always.

I remember this poem while on my ride home from work. I can't help not to outburst with laughter. I figured it out what can remove that stain that causes Pax to be in a low mood, often. I think you will agree with me Amryanne for this : Pax needs to change brand from TIDE to ARIEL.

lol... how come i have missed this, i guess there is no notification for other reviews reply... hehe
tide and ariel are too toxic in my hands... i get blisters already because of the strong chemicals in it... so i really need a change.... any other choices... champion kaya or surf... hmmm :D

[Androglossia]

LOL hala ka Pax o, si Belle tinawanan ka 'ata. I think Belle was right Pax, you need to change brand asap. Look, they're all toxic. If you want to go organic, use guava leaves:D
