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 ;)Pia
