You stopped dreaming me….

I was silver woofie

stalking life with enchanted

green eyes

through the bodies of the moments

spinning

sparkling through my lashes

dusky

spider web moments,

missing nothing,

drinking it all down,

the pain,

the passion,

the beauty and the ugliness,

colliding

until it all became a single song without judgment

or boundaries

beneath my paws through frosty snow

until the glass thorn fell out of your hands in front of me

and I stepped on its crystal sharpness

willingly

to take the ambrosia and poison of you into me,

mingling,

mingling through the days,

the months,

the year,

until it was pure mercury eating my bones up from the inside

You forgot that I put my life in your hands….

I gave you my hummingbird bones and the fragility of my ribs

etched

with every fine cut

of befores

for you to coat with an uncertain honey sweetness

at first

but then become heavy with such greedy flavors,

nectarine bittersweet spices

Turning my little life so topsy-turvy carousel splashed with wine,

drink,

drink,

inebriate yourself until the morning so as to justify tearing out my wings

under the sun because there is no one else for you to hate

Why did you bring me here on such fine threads of fairy tale allure,

wooden cabins all in a row,

gingerbread yummy people with porcelain hands

and foreheads so smooth from injections at the latest Botox party,

spinning honeycombs off wagging tongues

that spin around an encapsulated lifestyle full of privilege

and without a moment of clawing struggles

I hate this,

I adore this,

I hate you for f****** me over to such an extreme,

hate you for putting your hands inside my bones to take my sugar cookie

insides

and eating them all up,

leaving nothing behind but a bracelet for my Birthday;

you really,

really never tasted

what I am

Hello Victoria, I read your poem,"MyWolf". Loved it! So full of passion. Great imagery. I enjoyed reading it. You have a unique style of writing and it's good. Please feel free to visit my site here in the "Den"

There is an idea of greed that can go to extremities. It's frightening.
Tasting can be linked to pleasure, but also to the will of an empty, envious soul to possess the qualities, the soft skin, the elegance, brilliance of the one that was so attractive.
You have created a particular atmosphere throughout your poem.

Your thoughts give us an emotional ride into the very depth of one's relationship which seems to leave the very core of a soul battered and bitter...yet it also leaves the reality of acceptance...

nice work...

This is such a beautiful bittersweet poem. There is great feeling--and pain. Well done.
Reviewed by Karen Palumbo 5/19/2008
Beautiful and yet, sentimental write incorporating all the wants and desires. To give of one's self so willingly only to be seen through raw eyes through to the real self....

Be always safe,
Karen
Reviewed by Cryssa C 5/19/2008
This is such a powerful and raw write...
I especially loved the ending...the desire to be seen and tasted as we really are...the true meat and bones... and not just for the sugar coating outside that others greedily eat up.

Reviewed by Jon Willey 5/19/2008
I drank the wine, liquid essence of honey coated pretense. I supped 'til sated, on the ambrosia. I donned the glass slippers and danced the dance of imagination's romance. With the pendulum's last swing, I realized you were never really there. Now the air is heavy
with the embarrassment of remorse. The mirror is shatttered for I see that I am not me.
Reviewed by Charlie 5/19/2008
I wonder what flavor I am. I think I may be a gob-stopper... changing flavors with each new layer of hard, sugar-coated glaze...

A powerful, emotional write. --Charlie
