Pursuing the blade
Piercing lies
folded into flesh
Soul brought brittle
in wrought agony
you rendered
Letter left
beside your
still beating heart
An empty explanation
as I drown beside
a malicious moon

YowZA!!!
This is spectacularly written, and I can totally see why you got the Gold.
"Pursuing the blade"
Cutting one self, physically/emotionally? You make this totally non-cliched with your unique phrasings.
"folded into flesh"
Likey!!
Love that third stanza...seems to me like perfection.
"a malicious moon"
Love this!! Makes me think of something I'd write, but way, WAY better. Moons are awfully symbolic..

Thanks!! I was gonna withdraw and delete this cause I thought it sucked!! LOL.. Think that's just my mood! You always cheer me up with your comments!!

LMAO, didn't the Gold trophy reassure you? =D Must be morphine..

Excellent take on the image prompt! Peeling darkness from within, and granting it voice. I love that you noticed the letter as well. Thanks so much for your entry!

pursing the blade
wow

Well I don't think its nearly as bad as you made out! I see nothing wrong with it at all, but I can understand how you see it, I do it myself. Don't delete it I like it. Very darkly penned, the opening is strong and I love how it fades to despair...just like in life when this happens, anger then tears. You hit the nail on the head hun...good luck but you shouldn't need it
-
A very apt interpretation of the picture Jacks, and did you say, "you're pulling out," and that your, "muse has died?" That almost has a sexual connotation to it LOL!
-
-
LOL...
Yep, it sucks.. I can't seem to write at the moment.. sigh...
-
-
g'luck fellow-blue-eyes!
-
-
I'm pulling out
My muse has died..
-
-
good luck my dear sissy..
I love you
kat
