Brenda Warren
A kiss fully enunciated
Will empty the lungs
But it is the heart
For which there is never hope
Enough to spare.
The doom of a great love
Can never be spared.
–
Pain is not intolerable,
We suffer in the name
Of all our causes and none
Quite so much as the right to live.
Pleasure takes courage,
To open oneself up to laughter,
To bare both secret and martyr
To a stranger, a fellow prisoner
In the membrane of a shadowed childhood.
–
Love takes the seer, however, apt or amiss
To a state not unlike insanity.
I shine, therefore, I am crazy.
One can neither underestimate
The tendency of diamonds towards blood
Nor the frailty of steel beneath magma.
One can never underestimate anything
As there is always a time and a place
For the unsuspecting victim to fall.

WOW–your work is so powerful, knocks me over.
By the way–are we invited to do these, and do we link back to you, or what? I couldn’t find a Linky thing? I don’t wish to step on any toes. Thank you.
These Wordles come from The Sunday Whirl. Right now that group is on hiatus (I am not a host there) but I just wanted to do the challenges.

Thank you for your help.
Thank you so much!
Most welcome.
her
childhood
was
stranger
than
anyone
could
imagine
she
was
a
seer
a
diamond
in
the
rough
laughter
followed
her
around
she
loved
shiny
things
and
often
hid
in
the
shadow
of
her
favorite
tree
where
she
whispered
her
secret
dreams
to
the
bark
and
leaves
people
thought
her
crazy
a
martyr
of
sorts
but
she
was
unbreakable
made
of
steel
and
never
a
prisoner
of
the
status
quo
she
was
star
dust
and
light
and
everything
that
touched
her
became
beautiful
How beautiful is she wow!
Thank you so very much…she glitters.
Absolutely!
What really hit home for me was ‘pleasure takes courage.’ wonderful!
Thank you so much Sara
