every word wants to
pour forth like a revelation,
exultation of your soul.
but this pen,
this paper
knows me like i
know the back of your hand,
and i can't control
the cliches that drip from
my fingertips
onto this projected page.
if my skin was darker,
if my complexion held
the secrets of
complexity,
i might be a better woman
in those mochahazelbluegreen
eyes of yours,
more worthy to receive
the gift of...the gift of
your language

LeBrozabout 17 years agoSuch excellent words here, so well choosen, that reveal so much, like, you've got it bad! And I don't mean your poetry.
The_Darknessover 19 years agoEvery writer's dilema. Distractions, cliches, writer's block, all beautifully woven into one tapestry by your words.
You have a gift, SIMA. Keep sharing with us!
LadyJeanneover 19 years agoOh, the struggle to fully express yourself when there's so much to express! You've captured it beautifully here.
