Tired arguments like
tiny lanterns filled with
gasoline and blue flame.
I caught your muse and
drew paper smiles on the back
of my hands in hopes that
someday you might catch sight
of the abnormality.
Anomalies on backward transits
through awfully conspicuous fictions
fabricated through a gilded tongue;
serpentine transfixions caught in
suppressed lullabies whispered far too
late to be perceived as appropriate.
Slit wrists and candy canes like
lemon to a paper-cut;
illuminate the obvious with outbursts
contrived as repugnant to the outside world.
I'm calling all the corners,
invoking thunder in my fragile
throat and screeching lightning bolts
to slip through visions you choose
to ignore and wonder
Can you hear me?

WOW. This is just beyond perfection. I absolutely ADORE how you wrote this. hah, sorry, I usually don't use words like that. Trying to extend my vocabulary :] Anyways, those lines were just wow. I can definitely relate, and you penned such a clever emotion there. I can definitely sense the pain and anguish in these lines. I'm honestly speechless. Thank you so much for the wonderful entry & best of luck to you with everything ! ♥ -

Wow.. This is spectacular. I know the feeling, begging for a daughter's voice to be heard by a Mother.. I have been in that very position a thousand times before and written about it an equal amount.. This is something that I could not create myself - the visuals, the flow, the emotions evoked are both personal and generalized.. Beauty!!
