    wanted woman

    Tiny torn face siloutted by tears,
    eyes glazed in pain, I see a world.
    the closeness, the touch of paid love
    fighting has faltered, I find the fetal position.
    when do I rise, firm and strong?
    Who can right so many wrongs?
    float on your back, let me touch you,
    dine with me, talk to me,
    let me have you this way.
    I cry because in 35 years, its still the same.
    violet vicissitude with no voice,
    wounds I must still lick,  
    my fear and solitude a forced choice.
    cries of criticism mock me,
    i shiver and shake alone in my bed.
    the blanket my safety in an evil world of undead.
    love has a price, and no one buys its truth,
    cannot find the one I am commited to.
    God's angel must be fierce with revenge,
    but love I give and betrayal of love I get.

    Forgive me for liking this. you have invited me in to see your etchings. Sometimes fragility with resilience is more beautiful than unbroken poise. I so want this shaken one stand tall again, a woman well loved, wiping blurred mascara, to the pulse of joy. Harv

    Strong words. Good use of imagery and graphic truth. The ending is so sad and this is true of many young people today.

    thanks! It's not my best, but it was good to write it.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
