self-portrait

by wylde

.


i smoke curling lithps

thru blue crooked lips

my jaw craggles past my stubbled

never mind

chin wombs into ears

hanged pierced with studded lost finds

water eyes blur. smudged.

under lashes self inflicted fears.

along out lined profiles trudged

skin folds stretched onto bone

and all of this draped

over presence. that has to be home


.

Now, this is my kind of self-portrait! I am very drawn to your style of poetry. You have a love of words and that is a treasure. Very Happy

The honesty required in any self portrait is scary. it takes guts to this. You see yourself as that bad in the mirror? I see myself that bad too. Yet others do not. This poem is outstanding and exceedingly cool and I love it. Gail

    gaily - like anything, especially in art/poetry - honesty is a pre-requisite for true value to be present. and in that sense what or how i 'see' myself, is inextricably linked to how i 'feel' about and within myself.

    thank you so much for your insights. and support.
