Description                                 My sexual desires,

                                                                               moaning
                                                                                          amongst shadow,
                                                                              inside a,
                                                                                          | locked |  cage.
                                                                      Crying for help,
                                                                                           But I was deaf.

                                                 Then               
                                                                      you             
                                                                                        came,
                       
                                                Heard.



                                                 And
                          .unlocked.
             it.   



          Unafraid,
                      embracing them.
        I wondered,
                        if I was aware
of their existence,

                                 Would I have done the same?

                                                                        Or would I have
                                                                                              just seen
                                                                    their demonic faces,
                                                                                               and not their
                                                                         angelic bodies.
                                                                                             Would I have
                                                                         left them there
                                                                                              to rot?

                                                                                     Starve?
                                                                  Fade?
                                                Die?


                                          Do they Die?

Very Powerful.

You are a fantastic writer.

This was a beautiful example of concrete, even if that hadnt been the intent.

Thank you for sharing this.

You are a phenomenal writer.

I hope you are still writing and just not sharing.

I spent 13 years without writing anything, if you aren't writing, I really hope it
doesn't take you as long as it did I. Your words would surely be missed more than
my own, and I can guarantee plenty of people are missing said words already, myself
included

take care.

Thank you again.

And no not as much anymore, I lost a lot of inspiration along the way. 

But thank you for the warm words, they are truly appreciated.

I like how raw and yet lovely (enticing even) you make letting go and releasing them seem.  This is such an amazing piece, insightful and so where I have been for a long time.  I've starved them, kept them caged, muzzled them, but they are always still there, waiting, needing to be out, free, open.  No, they do not die, even though we may weaken them.

I'm finally breaking free of long held inhibitions, restrictions, beliefs about myself and it isn't easy to do.  Especially alone with those you have cared about thinking that you've betrayed them, are immoral, depraved for wanting something different, needing more, for being different

"No, they do not die, even though we may weaken them."Very true.

That's very interesting. It seems we never stop learning about ourselves.

I can't usually deal with poetry; it generally feels flowery and pretentious to me (no offence to anyone who loves poetry intended, it's just me) but this is a glimpse into someone's soul. It raises questions about the attitudes they've been raised with, believing sex to be immoral and dirty when in fact it can be amazing/wonderful and someone else helps them to discover and then wondering if what they're feeling is wrong or right and is it ok to feel like that? And were those feelings always there, hidden away? This was the first of your pieces I've read and I have to admit I'm interested in reading the others now.

Wonderful piece

What can I say. I can't critique you because I don't want to be deep. I can't leave another admiring comment without feeling like a fucking fool lol
Just know I enjoy these poems thoroughly.. You're brutally talented Miss L0NE-W0lf

Why don't you want to be deep? I would love a critique, it could help me improve.

Leaving numerous compliments does not make you a fool, it makes you an appreciator of the written word.

It pleases me that you enjoy my writing. And thank you for the insanely high regard. It's a bit overwhelming and I can hardly wrap my head around it, but thank you.

The locked cage, heard and unlocked it <--- all written in a special way.

While not my favorite kind, it does have a "touch" to it.
I wish I could express it in words like that. But for now, they never die.

I love how you set it out, it is amazing the difference it makes to how you read it. And the ending is beautiful! I would love to see you write in this style more, the imagery is so powerful I almost want to see this sort of thing as a graphic novel.

Postmorteum In reply to ClaireAdele [2012-08-13 18:47:48 +0000 UTC]

Thank you darling. However, these types of poems are my least popular. So while you like it, most everyone else doesn't, funny isn't it?

A graphic novel would be interesting. Would you illustrate it for me?
