Sea mist rolls inland
a teal-green sunset
bleeds into the ocean
fierce currents drag me
towards the rock's edge
chancing a glimpse
of the afterlife
my skin;
gaunt, drawn, taut
marble pink-grey
butterfly bruises
search for the horizon
light shines blue
the injured moon
drowns herself
in glistening air
my body
rises towards
honey-dew light
my scars spread wings
free-fall off the cliff.

This is very impressive Beeme 'chancing a glimpse of the afterlife' 'injured moon'. Really well done.
I love these lyrical abstractions of yours. :-)

I am growing into a big fan of your "lyrical abtractions" Beeme. I think Fatboy put it so well. A perfect poem. Much enjoyed the purity of every stanza. So well cut out

beeme I really like this one. In the final stanza, I wonder if you need that comma
Beeme | February 14, 2011 - 19:48
Awwh thank you so very much Pia! :] I'm so glad you enjoyed this one so much! xx

'light shines blue

drowns herself
in glistening air

I absolutely LOVE the imagery and especially in these last two stanzas. Absolutely gorgeous use of language. One of your best on my list ;-)
