Immensity

by Alexis   Aug 31, 2015


She fears
what she writes
& her obedient longing
for small miracles
at night.

Some say
her eyes are pools
of blood & benevolent desire.
But she is a lovely maze:
the kind you enter blindfolded
& naked.
-Would you embrace
her fragile sequence of mistakes?
Would you? -

The signals she gives
makes me understand
her dense hope,
her absurdity.

Love her.
Love her
even if she is a pitiable monster,
a damned Persephone
for she is absolute
and larger than herself.

    Very authentic and raw. Both the opening stanza and the closing one had the same impact on me. I thought they were written beautifully.

    The questions raised seem like exclamatory ones, not really questions seeking an answer, rather than one's wondering and thoughts that seek to become reality..without the B option answer.

    I love this piece. Simply do.

    Love this poem! It has raw, open emotion where you aren't shy to speak for this girl, almost acting as her voice when she may be ignored. The simple repetition of "love her, love her" is so gentle and caring. The first stanza is mysterious yet makes me imagine a girl trying to find her own way, not sure what to make of her dark thoughts, hoping for some relief in her daily life.

    Beautiful piece here. Take care.
