[bodytext] => The picture I paint of myself is of a work That will forever be in progress Always slightly damaged And perhaps, But resilient and hopeful If it should be unnecessary Then I am unwilling to surrender myself To embrace warmth or love A glass of water may well be a glass of my Worst enemies blood I will drink it-my thirst is strong as Life wears me out My thirst is wrong but life ***** me about The picture I paint of myself Will display pain Eyes that seem fragile as glass lost in love denied A vibe vulnerable and skin sore and life-bruised The picture I paint of myself will display Someone who is struggling to keep her equilibrium To hold her emotions tight in both hands, Which threatens to seep out at any moment like sand Through a child’s finger’s The picture I paint of myself is of a work That I will never finish But it will capture my tortured soul And forever, for me show a hero’s journey The picture I paint of myself is of a work That will forever be in progress Always slightly damaged And perhaps, But resilient and hopeful [comments] => 3 [counter] => 310 [topic] => 48 [informant] => persia [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
