Array ( [sid] => 154033 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Stop the Rain [time] => 2009-10-13 02:20:39 [hometext] => Knowing she would have leapt like a hungry predator at my weakness offers little consolation to her state. Im not used to seeing her like this, an animal broken, without fight. I know it's his mother but i cannot shut the valve to her tears in cost of my child's wellbeing. I am sorry. [bodytext] => Pouring concrete
over my tinsel heart
I promised myself
invulnerability
to your hurts.

Holding the phone to his ear,
hearing you cringe out sadness
was a scatter-blast, jackhammering
my inner workings to wet gunpowder.
Your defeated tremors caressed
fireworks into me like acidic salve.

Promises have destinies that expire.

Every tear liberated was
a snail, balancing on
a needle tip, corroding
wearily, as it tried to stand
up to my salty reign.

Heartlessness exiled,
suddenly with a will of its own,
eluding me, forsaking me...
I used to shut you out easily
like a leathery curtain
slicing off sunlight,
but for a blink of eternity
I felt.

Of course, although she was a sadly inept mother, she is still a person. At least you remembered this in all the relief and elation you must be feeling at the moment. But she blew her chance and now you're the one having to pick up the pieces of her neglect. Your son matters the most, which I am sure you know.

Stay strong

-Phil

This is my favorite in your poem...

Every tear liberated was
a snail, balancing on
a needle tip, corroding
wearily, as it tried to stand
up to my salty reign.

I am glad I found your writings. Off to read more...
