Painted Figernails

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Mar 20, 2007


Holding the softly pattering heart in her hands of jade,
A girl sits singing softly where the body now laid.
Craddling his heart of sweet, sweet love and precious gold,
A memory shines through, but is awaited by bitter cold.
Tears melt into pitied lips of tender white;
She smiles, eyes set to the horizon of astonishing delight.
Painted fingernails of forgotten tomorrows lay against his silent chest,
Tapping patiently as the golden sun rises to protest.

    Another short one by you, but I think ou picked the title perfectly when deciding to focus on something so obscure as fingernails... very unique, I loved it.

    Ok, I didnt find this to be overly descriptive at all, The funny thing is Sheena if you took some of the discription out of it people would be telling you there wasnt enough. But no i found this poem to be a beautfully sad piece of work. A job really well done here ~mel

    I'll admit, not one of my favorites. It's a shame too-original sad poems are usually top on my list to read and I loved yours in the past. It felt like you were trying to put too many descriptions in one line at a time--sometimes less is more to capture and audience's attention--and establish what you are trying to say and how you say it. It's better to have a simple in depth sentence then a wordy descriptive one. Just find your balance : )
