You don’t know me
yet…
but you will.
Through my pen, one tear stain at a time
until I am lying naked on the page.
With my mouth often mute about what lies beneath,
I will be unveiled by written words.
See the curve of my sorrows and the beautiful compassion that moves me.
Taste sarcasm at the corners of my lips, the salty sweetness of things that bring me joy.
Hear the quiet murmur of my fears, the quickening pulse of all that holds me back.
Smell the sweat of my intellect, heavy probing curiosity.
Touch the scars that make me who I am, thrusting deep into my wounds.
You will read me, taste me, hear me, see me,
blurts of ink leaving us sticky with intimacy
so that when speech fails,
you will know me.
And we’ll be side by side in the dark world
and you’ll utter those three coveted words:
“I get it.”







I so get it.
This is a perfect introduction!
So glad to see you here k

I know how it is. I’ve been super busy lately myself.
Haha…this reads like ”allow you to reintroduce yourself”
Super sexy, K

Every time I pop in here (which is pretty infrequent) I’m embarrassed by the fact that this is the only thing I’ve posted here in 6 months!! I dunno where my poetry brain went….
Thanks for giving it a read. Maybe someday I’ll have something new to say.
