And my elbow twitched by ~inmyroom:iconinmyroom:



We have our silence on coat hangers
in the air; you bow with pride
even in thunderstorms
and try to stall those motor eyes.

Your fingertips are teaching me
to understand the sound of static in my hair
and the bruises on my knuckles.
Our coco butter casing is not strong enough
to keep it all inside, it hassles you
in full force. I try to think
outside the bone to softer times,

when we learnt about illnesses
from text books. But I have come to realise
we are not all amazing stories
waiting to be told,

we are more like amazing lives
ready to be lived.

"I try to think
outside the bone to softer times,
"

I really found that part interesting.

Well written poem overall.

The first two stanzas were alright. The last two were hard-hitting and amazing. :+fav:

"amazing lives

I love that :) I always used to think that good things would just happen, then i realized i had to actually work to make things good.. ^^; hehe
Cocoa butter is great :)
:iconbaarish:
this is really strong and confronting. it's particularly well written in excellent visionary metaphores - i like how people have their own way of thinking/writing. you have this interesting way of telling this story of a relationship that tries to be something they are not, and in the end they have a different but healthy perspective as they take a step back. the last four lines sum up the poem perfectly! it's full of hope and being true to who you are (that means not trying so hard to impress someone). well, that's what i got out of it anyway ;) good work!
:iconfoundthefloor:
love the line "and try to stale those motor eyes"

I think I like your stuff better when I understand your metaphores. Call me stupid, but when I read lines like "We have our silence on coat hangers
in the air" my first thought is "what the hell does that mean?" I do love your last thought though; it's one of those nice repeatable things and I can tell by the comments you've already received that you're touching people with it, and touching people is the best part of being a writer, I think. My favorite, anyway.

Still your biggest fan :)
