Let our scars fall in love

by Karla   Mar 28, 2012


"Let our scars fall in love."
Galway Kinnell

I showed you my unremembered bruised skin,
pointing to every wound and scar as you tried
to share your heat with me and it is so little
for a woman my age, My Love.

I know you can only unleash your claws
for it is what you have been doing mindlessly
as your temperature blows the thermometer
and the room.
(I understand your eyes and hands)

I simply can't, couldn't:
my mouth is closed, my lifeless body is under control.
I may regret my lack of adventure sabotaging your dreamy script.
I may regret sitting on the sidelines instead of floating gently
down the stream of life (life?)
But there is no logic or common sense right now:
there is only a woman who needs your scars to fall in love again.
(it is not my morals speaking: it is my tremulous heart imploring)

While you can't interpret The Goddess in me,
I will remain where I am frozen and scared
for I am afraid of letting you breath my secrets.

When your hidden poetry gets ready
to align with mine, fetch me after work
at 9:20 pm as you did, but come
with your heart wrapped in sugar.
You will find me where I have always been:
between my wounded calm and fears.
I will be waiting for you, My Love.
Again.

    ^ what?

    While you can't interpret The Goddess in me,
    I will remain where I am frozen and scared
    for I am afraid of letting you breathing my secrets.

    ^ WHAT???

    I only suggest here that you insert a comma after 'scared' .. and I think it should be: of letting you breathe...

    --- Karla.. You already know by now that I can distinguish your style between 100000 poems. You are amazing. Your words have a special echo in my ears. Those two parts above blew me awaaaaaaaaaaaay.. And the end? omg.. it is even better. I really like how you incorporate everything from your real life into poetry, like TIME, RELIGION, MORALS... and yes,,,, this KARLA touch:

    (....) using parentheses a lot. it is fabulous.

    I can't handle this perfection, really.
    The style is just a KILLER.

    Hi Karla

    A solid good or splended poem, hard to read without tears and to be scared, really scared.
    As usual you are writing in the emotional twilight, a diffecault place to be.

    There are so many pearls in this poem.
    "
    you can only unleash your claws.

    only a woman who needs your scars.
    afraid of letting you breathing my secrets

    I goes on and on, and it leaves me still with a feeling of sadness.

    Do you know the songs fra Anthony and the Johnson's?

    There are a line there.

    A fist full of love..........
