Stranger

Experimental. Sensual write.

I am a stranger to my own sufferings, 

held bare and unmoved, I feed off rage, 

the aftertaste of anger, still bitter on my tongue. 

I am a stranger to my ardent desires, 

still I feast my eyes, thriving off the digital images, 

and there remains a yearning, unfulfilled,

upon which lingers the sweet agony; 

the thought of you trickling against my skin,

while this shaking heart ~ cradles your memories ...

Strange, strange how words real and make believe alter emotions in self, in others.. but without them, i spose there'd be no questions asked, just fruitless acceptance. Think that's what you mean in this part sad, par sensual write.. as always finely laid.

Sometimes it's easier writing out what one wishes to be, at others not so much... Thank you for your words here and for appreciating, Emma. 😊

A stranger unto thy self
Quite a realization in itself
To know and know not
Is quite the thought

Thank you kindly for your composition

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for this poetic appreciation (:

It's unusual the way your poem starts out with a stark mood in the first stanza, then it gradually changes into sensual as it goes along. Your message hints at the way a good loving session can help melt thru a bad mood. Always enjoy the way your writing leaves space for interpretation (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

First, congratulations, Doc. This is a good piece of work. There are a couple of little things. Line 2 "I freed myself OF rage. I think I would drop some of the connectives. "the aftertaste of raw anger" "thriving off digital imagers". This is exceptional. I like it.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I did make some changes though not entirely on what you pointed out. I think 'feed off' reads better than 'of' and is the correct one (I googled it)...
Thank you for appreciating this piece and your words here, Ted. Glad you like it (:

The re-write is excellent.
