Array ( [sid] => 130352 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Virgin Skin [time] => 2007-01-10 11:08:21 [hometext] => One of the best I have for it's meaning that seems to transcend through my time so far, always this poem feels true for me. [bodytext] =>
Virgin skin
Pale and lined
Untouched
And I'm sinking in
Drawing myself over it
I feel some of these days
Slip away
And leave me in my own suffocating haze
Comfortable
After I've closed back up
And forgotten how vulnerable
I get when it comes to
Virgin skin
Pale and lined
Untouched
And I'm sinking in
Drawing myself over it
I know that I've given yet another peice
Of myself
And I'm back to how I have to be
Inside
Of me
After I've closed back up
And forgotten how vulnerable
I get when it comes to
Virgin skin
Pale and lined
Untouched
And I'm sinking in
Drawing myself over it
Inside and out
It's all that I am
When it comes to this
And my thoughts begin to taper
Off
Through myself and this pen
Onto virgin skin that's pale and lined
Paper...

Clearly this piece has personal meaning for the writer and by your preface it says so...
As a reader I walked through the sinews and muscle of this piece. It has a reveal and elegance as it meanders, reinforcing 'pale and lined,' to touch the reader with the an innocence that is most refreshing.

I truly look forward to more of your hearts expressions.

Peace

I love this for so many reasons, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum...like & as if, teehee.

Through the majority of this write I had a hard time reconciling the concept of, " pale virgin skin " w/ " lined " & kept reaching for what it was you might be saying that in the end was so obvious & led me to a second reading to enjoy w/ understanding...then another...& another...


Great job, Babez!

I can relate to this poem. There is something
truly beautiful about a blank sheet of paper.
An artist or poet can manipulate it to portray
any expression or thought they wish. Your
poem is lovely, great work!
