I am addicted
To the ever deep pool of your mind
Hearing boys say, to a younger version of myself
Don’t be too serious girl, lighten up
You look so pretty when you smile
I read, people gravitate towards humor
I move
In the direction of a bright mind
Illuminating darker recession
It is evident I will never, win popular award
I do however, seek eternally
Your inky thirsty thought
It has told me
To fuck off
Countless times
And hurt me
With the shards of a shattered cup
Pieces too finely crushed to piece back
But when I witness
Your pensive half smile and darkening eyes
When I read your words, smudged on page and hold my breath for wonderment
When I listen
To what you are not saying, in half turned observation, listing on margin
I ache
In a place I had left hallow
Hoping
Time would heal it over
And it may never
For your existence
Is a shape in my head
A girl with the blood of words
Urging me to remember
The wonder of thought
A writer’s soul captured in poem. Beautiful!
There is a craving for the deep dive, even at the risk of drowning, or growing gills for waters of dark truth.

TheFeatheredSleep – “The wonder of thought”
Wonder full
An inspiration…
There is so much more to a person than looking pretty when she smiles.
Woah. This hit home for me.
This makes the poem all the more captivating. The ending:
“A girl with the blood of words
Urging me to remember
The wonder of thought”
Captivating. Your words piercing the dullest of moods.
The feather may not be sharper than the sword, but it cuts even deeper.

oh how I adore your words..
The blood of words – brilliant phrase!
This is super
that single ‘fuck’ in the middle of all the other words is very – catching 🙂
Words can be salvation for some and hell for others. I try to choose mine wisely but you just never know how they will eventually be received.
You write so hauntingly beautiful. Always in awe đź’•
