Guinea Pigs

So don't you all feel so special? You get to be the first people ever to read a poem by me. Don't make fun of it because I am very protective of my work and I will be forced to kick your butt. Please understand what a big step this is...That's right. This is one of my favorite ones, because of the bizarre imagery.

SORDID SKIES & DREAMS

Here, in my bed


A screaming sun goddess


Void of bitterness


I live a thousand true moments.


The urging summer petal storms


Pound in my head for eternity.


'Please stop' i ache,


but their delicate pink beauty manipulates my language.


Beneath the frantic chocolate spray,


You glistened among a million blue diamonds


as in a dream.


I am reminded of a long-ago image


stored deep in my subconsciousness


Now brought to light.


Crying, I am


Asleep and dreaming of


Visions of You,


whispering,


"We are delirious, but not Mad."


So there you have it.

Very nice, Cass. I did not know you wrote poetry.
Why does it show up without linebreaks though?

I don't know why it has no linebreaks...i put them in, but this crappy template ate them. i'm gonna try to repost.
