it began with a poem

:: The name of this blog was derived from a line in a poem I wrote in high school. Here is the poem.
| I cried myself down to rhapsody, slowly paying close attention to the slow intake of breath while I raise my hopes to the sky and then tear it down, again, to a pile of rubble that lies at the feet of my worst enemy who baptizes me with a cup of tea from his stash.As I bend to take up my dreams, a swipe of the sword graces my neck. Decapitation visits my head and soul and for the rest of the day I wear tiny glass slippers and I stomp around town, kicking the mailboxes and light posts as I skip by.You chase me and I laugh because I know my magic cape will give me power to fly, high, away, just as you have your bloody clutches around the corner of my silky, white skirt.You realized your error, the sin you committed, which has torn at my scars (And after realizing your error) you sent me candy coated rose petals and I swallowed down every last bite, fully, knowing I’d throw it up later that night.But everything has healed itself, I have forgiven you and you have forgiven me for all the wrongs and bad deeds we imposed upon each other. Life goes on, you said. |
