Lines

The blender of time
has utilized my face
as a map to find
its way back home.

Discombobulation 
is made with the wits
of the desperate 
and the alone.

To be dangling
off of a cliff
holding the hand
of someone
you do not trust.

Has made me more
of the man I am
than any loyal
or delicate love.

I hold in my hand
god's only command
to complicate
my own.

And with this pride
and sin inside
I carve my word
in bone.

Lxnnnie Rutledzh, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
