Leaving Guardian

Often I bid angels go at sunset, Often I prefer the kill, Kill of plastic face, Kill of child's toys burning, Burning sleeves, Burning like Paris in my tongue, Tongue fluent in sweet apple, Tongue inwardly moves; Moves consciously, Moves apart, Apart from slits, Apart from her— Her miming ways, Her existence; Existence at impasse, Existence survives moments, Moments still are timeless, Moments to come— Come by her nature's sways, Come even in the setting — Setting weights, Setting down of our pallor — Pallor, its closing... Pallor— I have red tears in my eyes, Eyes left and right, Eyes cut out by diamonds, Diamonds in pieces, Diamonds a bride's glory, Glory muzzled in tales; Glory runs— Runs on fumes, Runs ajar, Ajar secrets, Ajar faith; Faith loves the glass, Faith willing— Willing even as stars cross, Willing dance, Dance of twirling hair, Dance like finger's shadow near skin; Skin succumbing, Skin chained— Chained walks, Chained to flowers, Flowers that slink, Flowers tearing against horizons— Horizons touching, Horizons blinding, Touching Blinding

Dear Paige, your blitz poem is filled with intense emotion. With each poetic line, I feel you have captured the contrasts while revealing the turmoil and beauty within. I love the raw power and poetic mastery. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
