Our scars were vibing together
long before we ever learnt
how to dance
She unearths the secrets
I didn’t know i had
Torn up maps & cracked compasses
subjugated by the unknown
She comes with a lot of baggage
but she packs light
We feel on the outside
blowing smoke on their mirrors
Our reflection isn’t fit for Kodak;
it is too real, and out of place
We’re the perfect faux pas
In this reality of Russian Roulette;
she’s the one lying in my chamber,
pacing with a bottle of Vodka
Tear off this pallid skin,
she decreed..
Make me forget;
shade me with your flaws
be my best regret
She was my catharsis;
when poetry couldn’t palliate
my darkness
It was her..

Yes, it was! It just happened one night after i listened to a live performance. I won’t mention the name of the song cos then i’d lose my street cred lol. As for the film, only seen it a reasonable 20 times.

You are amazing! If my first poem was even a fraction as good as this, I would have a pulitzer by now. Clearly, poetry is in your blood, your bones!

Love this one, AG. Thank you for reblogging it for us.
This stanza is perfectly crafted:

A fine poem, hinting at the true duality of bi-polar disorder: two opposing forces, perhaps even male and female, tearing at each other in an attempt at solidarity. An impressive first poem!

One of the beauties of poetry (and art in general) is the way in which it touches people in different ways. I raise my hat to you AG.

Thank you so much, Rose. I was telling Susan yesterday that i posted this as a light post – I didn’t even realize it was that dark – at least not compared to my other stuff. I’m glad that you liked it!
