Pieces

from deep within   a cocoon of sophistry you emerge your beauty          fleeting      fraudulent                             flitting   from bloom    to bloom    to bloom       to me while feeding a heinous hunger bleeding my nectar   until all wounds wither                     and die shattered shards of my soul           cruelly cast away     scattered upon the winds of lies in flightless free-fall as I listen to the sound     of a thousand whispered wings                  crashing              against the cold stone floor of your heart ~

Mary, In this poem you have chosen metaphors and superb imagery that bring the reader gradually along the writer's thoughtout your poem. It gave this reader to wonder have I tread this disdain path in foley, or was I of did I have better character. You have woven a tight net with words so very well taken and the read move soft and smooth over the mind of this reader. I must remark here, That I have become extremely fond of your poetry and look forward to your next writing. This in one of my favorite phases, "shattered shards of my soul cruelly cast away scattered upon the winds of lies" Thank you. God bless, with love, Paul

Mary, I'm not sure if its butterflies/cocoon but it is interesting, the concept of them sucking you dry. I believe your fellow had a few flowers that were not to be had. The cad! The many whispered wings against the cold stone floor of his heart. He broke you and your soul into pieces. I think another title would be more enticing than 'Pieces' Maybe shattered shards or the like. Good job showing your pain and anger. dellena

Mary, This is really good! I read this twice. Your inagery is writen with such a beauty and yet, not an over kill as your words tell a story. The beginning of the poem... from deep within a cocoon of sophistry you emerge....breathtaking which leads perfect to the rest of the right with every word you penned seemed perfect. 2 thumbs up for sure.

You are most welcome and this is beautiful. I have read it over and over again and it was not until this last reading I saw the additional notes. Your words flow bringing life to the piece and I sense a relief as well........to be free and as beautiful as the butterfly.........would not change a thing.....thanks and God Bless you as your journey continues on.....Claire
