Thank you, Angel.

I was kind of afraid to post anything, because I am my own worst critic, but I said "what the heck" and just posted something. I really like your poetry, as well.

Here is something else I wrote.. It's kind of depressing, really, but happy love-related stuff isn't all I write anyway. Best to give a sampling of everything I write, yes? Without further hesitation..

Untitled Poem about Badsucky Things (<---I guess that's a title, isn't it? ^_^ )

This indigo leech of loneliness nibbles its way to my tired bones
While I lay motionless, like a weathered, rotted log
And the earth gives birth to walls of impenetrable materials made
Of alloys never before seen by the blind, but alert eyes of man.

Layer after layer, more walls tear through the dirt and encase me
In a prison with no ceiling, too high to climb out of, too deep to allow
Even one shadow of hope for escape, and my black and white eyes see
Only the sky with the acid rains, or the clear sky with the cold stars and hot moon.

So, so many try and break through these walls, and many believe that there are
None between them and me, but contrarily I am heavily guarded like the world’s
Last diamond, doomed to see nothing but that which keeps me safe,
That which keeps me isolated, that which keeps me from being reached, touched,
Fondled, held, kissed, ogled, marveled at up close, and appreciated for what I am.
But I will these walls to be built. Yet, I don’t.

Indigo leeches and alloy walls you can’t penetrate
I am protected in my prison with no ceiling
Doomed already to see only two skies
No happy medium
No freedom
No climbing, no aid, no one to hold me the way I want to be held..

For I am a lonely diamond.
