Light Be Bled

Last night's tears fade the flowers on my person's quilt— as morn annihilates heaven pillow lays me wake in frisks and shams, remembered dreams.

' tears fade the flowers ' This image curls gently around me and my heart. There's so many moments and emotions within, my dear friend. Beautiful, yet tender. My best to you, Paige. Hugs, Brandy

I completely did this wrong, so I rewrote it, and it turns out, it had a different message. I noticed on Ink's contest that the syllables were not right. So now you all can read it. Sorry again!

It's more of dreaming out of reality. I am okay. :) And the blood is light, what feels even though it blinds the night's heaven. Thank you all for your support.

As always you came through with profundity and poignancy.

my heart ached as I read of your struggle with 'reality.' We all do at some time or another...I can, therefore, relate. I appreciate your subtly yet the power in 'blood results in purity and pain.'

Seven lines that pack a punch. Blood results in purity or pain, usually pain.

An exquisite revelation of idealism. Your poem was exceptionally well-written, Paige.

When you bleed something, you're real, so that contrasts...(I hope). <3

Or at least for a little while after a dream. That is how we sleep, and do in our beds, or with them- frisk and sham. The truth is blind, so it doesn't notice frisks and shams currupting my dreams.

In this poem, I used frisking and shamming- that's all that's left after the morning blinds and I forget what I dreamt. On a personal note, I've lost touch with reality, except with frisking and shamming through life
